The date is locked in: Gran Turismo 5 will go on sale throughout North America on Wednesday, November 24th.
That means you’ll be experiencing over 1,000 cars, including karts and select NASCAR cars, scores of tracks, the all-new Course Maker, a dynamic weather system, a robust online community, and everything else Gran Turismo 5 has to offer in less than two weeks.
Along with confirming the November 24th date, Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc. had this to say:
Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program! When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed.
Don’t forget to pre-order Gran Turismo 5 if you haven’t already to ensure your copy day one and receive a voucher for one of five free downloadable cars with a custom Stealth Model skin.
We’ll have much more on Gran Turismo between now and launch, so please stay tuned to the PlayStation Blog and the official Gran Turismo site.

@101 the EU release is the same day – the info went up on the EU blog the same time as this blog.
Now we have to wait until 2 weaks its date dont change
Yes! Day 1 purchase for me!
for real, are you sure?
i think it is better to put directly “gran turismo on shelves right now”…just to be sure
forget the preordes, also you may say, re-pre-order, having in count all of the people who cancelled it
2010 Right? Thank God!
Finally! The GT5 bomb is about to hit
About damn time!
It’s been one long, ugly road full of delays.
[Obligatory remark of excitement]^^
Cool that its in time for Black Friday BUT sales won’t be what they would have been if it’d came out on Nov 2. BEFORE Black Ops.
After this releases. NEVER MAKE ANOTHER GT PLEASE!
Holidays is complete for me.
Naruto, NBA Jam, and GT5 will do for my holiday breaks.

YEAAAAh!!!! Noi tutti aprezza essendo stato dato benzina e velocita’!
About time, the silence was killing me!!! I already pre-ordered and paid off the CE version on 16/07/10; DFP is ready; cockpit is ready. Vroooooooooom!!
PSYCOOOOOOOOOOO!!! BANKIIIIIIIIIIIII NANINONI…..SHINEEEEEEE
So this release date will be cancelled…when?
I don’t believe in GT5 anymore. I just change my mind when I see the game in my hands.
whats a gran turismo? I think long long ago I heard mention of this game.
Who are you people anyways?
Sweeet
thanksgiving dinner..or playing GT5 all day…i’m not going to lie it’s going to be a tough choice
My cheeks has tightened and my zipper has ripped. Yes Yes Yes!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it April 1st?
I’m not a fan of pre-orders in general, but I think it’s rather cheeky to say NOW we should “ensure our copy day one” after it already missed its first release date this month. Retail channels haven’t been the unreliable factor here…
Surely at least one website will have an end of year category: Winner for Most Release Dates in a Calendar Month.
HAPPY DANCE! HAPPY DANCE!!!
I have something to say, some of the grand T community needs to act more mature. Through this whole ordeal which was 2weks time they manage to go to every furom and make everyone life living hell and disrupt furom cibalty.. they need to apologize for the damage they have done…. Im going to post this on gt world as well as ps underground forums
mcbuttz78-vp of psn legionaire group
civalty not cibalty . typo error
Nice, I’ll go preorder it, I can’t pass on this game
YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
Thank you for this update, Mr. Armour. Better late than never, right? :)
However, I’m not yet convinced the delay was really necessary…
You guys do realize that any major title is never released on a Wednesday right? The 24th is on a Wednesday
Thank you!
