1997's ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'' was the labor of five years in development and quickly became one of the biggest [[KillerApp killer apps]] of the UsefulNotes/PlayStation brand. That game's success secured Polyphony's existence as its own entity, and the studio has been working on the ''Gran Turismo'' series ever since. It is Sony's [[CashCowFranchise best-selling franchise]] with over 80 million copies sold, and main entries regularly sell between 5 to 10 million copies.

As Polyphony Digital, they have only strayed away from the ''Gran Turismo'' series twice. The first one was ''VideoGame/OmegaBoost'', which to this day remains their only non-DrivingGame title; instead, it's a MechaGame. Their other title is ''Tourist Trophy'', an attempt to explore the DrivingGame genre through {{Cool Bike}}s. While neither game reached the acclaim and popularity of Polyphony's FlagshipFranchise, they remain {{Cult Classic}}s.
