No roadmap for a resolution
Oh no! Gran Turismo Sport is built with multiplayer in mind, and it’s been pretty reliable since launch.

Hands On How Does Gran Turismo Sport Fare with PlayStation VR?
Ups and downs
Around about a year ago, we hopped inside Gran Turismo Sport’s cockpit with a PlayStation VR headset on and walked away somewhat unimpressed.
