A known Gran Turismo modder has claimed that Polyphony Digital is planning to release the “biggest” GT7 update to date.
Some days ago, modder @Nenkai (who is pretty well-known on the GT Planet forums), said the next update for the latest Gran Turismo will be the biggest one that players have had to date. Whether this is a response from Polyphony to the release of the new Forza Motorsport is unknown, but according to the modder, it’s clear that the team is up to something with an upcoming patch for the game.
“Next one is shaping to be the biggest update we’ve had so far”, @Nenkai wrote on Twitter. “May or may not be a direct response to FM8, but they’ve been cooking.”
The most recent GT7 update was released last week, although this patch (1.39) only included a few bug fixes. Last month’s patch, update 1.38, introduced new cars, events, conversations, engine swaps, improvements, and more. We’ll update you as soon as we learn more about this “biggest” GT7 update to date. For now, take the information above with a grain of salt as nothing has been officially confirmed just yet.
Gran Turismo 7 is available globally now for PS5 and PS4. Here’s what we wrote about the racer in our launch review last year:
One other thing I want to return to is the whole culture around cars, the history. I’m not sure I like links in the game taking you to external manufacturers, etc. I’ve got no issue with highlighting the history of cars and companies. It makes sense to show when breakthroughs happened, showing other significant events in history so people can understand just how long automotive progress has been going. Hell, they’ve got the future of cars by including an electric vehicle, though I’d like to have seen more than the Tesla (unless I’ve missed them?).
Still, whatever I say bad about Gran Turismo 7, as I did at the start, there’s so much in the good. I do wish it would learn to value people’s time, but maybe I’m misremembering older games, and now that I have actual employment and less free time, It just feels as though the game is metaphorically pulling teeth at times. Outside of the teeth-pulling, it’s a great experience. Take from that what you will.
