Fanatec confirms official FullForce support for Gran Turismo 7 for PlayStation 4 and 5, as part of the upcoming “Spec III” update. This enables a new level of force feedback fidelity for supported Fanatec Direct Drive Bases, including the Gran Turismo DD Extreme.
FullForce is Fanatec’s next-generation force feedback protocol, fusing high-fidelity vibration cues with the core force feedback signal to deliver a more immersive driving experience. Fine details such as engine vibration, traction loss, and road surface variations are transmitted to the driver’s hands with exceptional clarity.
The Gran Turismo DD Extreme, the officially licensed 15 Nm direct drive system, now reaches its full potential in Gran Turismo 7. Players will experience more granular details through the wheel, with clearer feedback as they approach grip limits.
Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital, a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment, and producer of the Gran Turismo series, shared his thoughts on the update:
“We have worked on the compatibility with the Fanatec FullForce technology, and have optimized the settings for each car. The players will now be able to feel the rich and accurate information from road surfaces, tires, and the suspension through the steering wheel. We hope you experience the unique characteristics of each car from the wide variety made available in Gran Turismo.”
This development continues the long-standing partnership between Fanatec and Polyphony Digital, a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment, strengthening the relationship that has produced official Gran Turismo hardware since 2021. This partnership will continue to ensure deep integration between Fanatec products and Gran Turismo 7.
FullForce support in Gran Turismo 7 will be available with the major “Spec III” update – free for all Gran Turismo 7 players – arriving in December. FullForce technology is available on the ClubSport DD+ and Gran Turismo DD Extreme.
