Gran Turismo 7’s single-player mode is criticized for being weak, pushing paid packs instead of content. Here’s why, what players want, and how to fix it. Photo by: IGN Southeast Asia
Many feel GT 7’s single-player mode isn't complete because it doesn’t have a true career experience. Paying for Power Packs will get you more races, but that doesn’t solve the main issue.

You can still have fun offline, but the game doesn’t have long-term depth.
To fix this, the game needs career progression, better rewards, and smarter AI opponents.
GT 7 includes offline races and challenges, but lots of players find it gets old fast.
Here’s what’s missing:
A real career path
Goals to keep you playing
Too much repeating the same events
Games like GT 4 and GT 5 had championships that kept players interested.
All over Reddit, players keep saying the same things:
Single-player feels limited.
You run out of things to do offline quickly.
The game wants you to play online.
Even people who like GT 7 agree that the single-player mode needs more stuff to do and more of a challenge.
Not really.
The Power Pack DLC gives you:
About 50 new races
Practice and qualifying rounds
Sophy 3.0 AI
Extra credits
But players say:
The races feel the same.
It's still not a real career mode.
The DLC gives you more content, but it doesn't fix the structure.
Single-player is still important because:
You can play it offline.
It makes you want to play the game again.
It gives you clear goals to work toward.
Older Gran Turismo games did this better, so finishing the game felt rewarding.
A Full Offline Career Mode
Move up through harder levels
Championships and long races
Rewards that matter
More credits for offline races
Unlock rare cars by playing the game
Special single-player events
AI that drives differently
Races with more than one goal
Less repetition
Issue | Player Opinion |
|---|---|
Career depth | “Doesn’t feel as good as older GT games.” |
Paid DLC | “More races, but no point.” |
Offline content | “Needs more to it.” |
No. It has offline events, but lots of players don’t think it has a real career mode.
They give you more races, but they don’t fix the main problems.
Yes, but you can’t progress as far.
