Gran Turismo Sophy (GT Sophy) is the next-generation racing AI agent that is being developed in collaboration with Sony AI and Sony Interactive Entertainment.

GT Sophy 2.0 was introduced in Gran Turismo 7 in November 2023, and with Update 1.57 it will evolve into the new 2.1 version. (PlayStation®5 version only.)

GT Sophy 2.1 brings support to Custom Races. Until now, GT Sophy could be selected in Quick Race with preset race settings, but with this update players can now select GT Sophy for individual Rival Cars, and customise race settings such as tyre wear and fuel consumption, and set up one-make races using cars from their garage. (Certain settings are restricted.)
