The Sony boss didn’t have much else to say about the delay or the rationale behind it, but a Sony public relations representative did say COVID and remote work challenges are behind it. They promised a statement about the game soon and said:

The Gran Turismo series is certainly no stranger to delays. Gran Turismo 5 suffered continuous delays spanning several years between its announcement in 2005 and release in 2010. Here’s hoping Gran Turismo 7 won’t be subject to the same fate.
There are two approaches to this: you can either hold the date and put out the game irrespective of quality or you can ship it when it’s right. We have always taken the latter approach.
