Our take
The announcement ties the physical hardware release to the 30th anniversary of the Gran Turismo franchise, leveraging the brand's long-standing reputation for realism. By pairing the controller with the Spec IV Update featuring the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, Sony reinforces the connection between the game's evolving content and its dedicated fanbase.
