According to reports from multiple foreign social media users, Amazon in the United States began to send games to bookers before the official release date of "GT Racing 7".
On Feb. 26, several Amazon users from Twitter, the Reddit forum and the US GTPlanet forum reported that they had received a physical disc of GT Racing 7, and that the game was still a week away from its official release.
However, there is a limit to the game content that players who get the GT Racing 7 physical disc in advance have access to, as the game requires an internet connection to access Active Mode, Paint Editor, Scapes Photo Mode, GT Cafe, and GT Auto.
One Twitter user who received the game in advance claimed that the game currently prohibits users from uploading videos or taking screenshots.
In an interview, Kazunori Yamauchi, CEO of Polyphony Digital, told Foreign Media Eurogamer: "The requirements for online connectivity ... It's just to prevent people from trying to modify the cheating of saving data, so that's why you need to connect online. ”
He added: "Online connectivity is necessary for competition mode. The only part of the game that doesn't require an online connection is the arcade mode, as this has no effect on saving data, so it's possible. But any operation related to saving data requires a network connection. For example, things like painting data, which is data downloaded from an online server. ”
