Gran Turismo 6 (Japanese: グランツーリスモ 6, commonly abbreviated as GT6) is the sixth major release and twelfth game overall in the Gran Turismo video game series. It was popular with critics, won awards, and topped charts in countries around the world. New features included the addition of more cars and tracks, improvements to the car customisation options, and partnerships with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Ayrton Senna Institute, the FIA and NASCAR. Gran Turismo 6 is the first-ever video game to have officially certified FIA content.
On October 24, 2013, game developers announced a long-term partnership with the Ayrton Senna Institute, where a percentage of profits from the sale of the game went to the organization, which promoted and provided education to the impoverished communities in Brazil. A free update in May 2014 added a new feature called "Ayrton Senna Tribute", which followed the motor racing career of Ayrton Senna. The update also includes the iconic Lotus 97T, which Senna drove during the 1985 Formula One season.
Configuration
Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.
CPU configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PPU decoder | Using the Interpreter (fast) may improve stability at the cost of performance. Try this option if you encounter excessive desync crashing. Currently required to load into some races. | |
| Enable SPU loop detection | Off | May improve performance. |
| SPU block size | Mega | Improves performance with no cost to stability. |
GPU configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-aliasing | Disabled | Moderate reduction to GPU load, causes minor visual problems. Suggested for systems with low-end or outdated GPUs. |
Advanced configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Accurate RSX reservation access | On | To be enabled on CPUs that lack TSX support. Reduces the frequency of desync. |

Known Issues
This game is currently not playable. Even with the recommended settings above, expect frequent crashes and desynchronisations.
Special Notes
Do not update the game version beyond version 1.05, as newer versions suffer from severe graphical issues and require special settings. If GT6 won't boot past the Sony Computer Entertainment logo, deleting GT6's save data should fix the problem.
