A new update for Gran Turismo 7 will be arriving at no additional cost for players today at 10PM PST. This new update includes support for PlayStation VR 2 which will allow players to experience more realistic racing simulations through the PS5-exclusive VR headset. Additionally, the update brings some more action-packed features that we’ll discuss shortly.
You can watch a video highlighting the features of the upcoming update for Gran Turismo 7 below:
Let’s start with the first feature of the update. The latest Gran Turismo 7 update will allow PlayStation VR 2 owners to play the game with a new level of realism. The VR experience will be compatible with all the races and game modes, excluding the 2P split screen mode. Additionally, the game will also add an exclusive VR Showroom area in the Garage where players can look at the stunning details of the car models in a variety of locations and lighting settings.
The next part of the udpate allows players to meet the GT Sophy AI that was previously teased by the developers a while ago. This superhuman racing AI agent is going to be available in a game mode known as GT Sophy Race Together and will be exclusive to the PS5 version of Gran Turismo 7.
In this mode, players will be able to race against the AI in a series of circuits of increasing difficulty. Players will be able to face off against the AI in a 1-vs-1 environment with identical car configurations and settings, showcasing the superhuman racing skills of the AI. The GT Sophy Race Together mode will be available as a limited time event from February 21 to the end of March.
The latest update for Gran Turismo 7 also includes the return of a classic race track. Grand Valley returns to the series with a new look, featuring challenging courses and expansive environments where the ocean meets the mountains as well as large bridge and tunnel sections. Players will be able to race through the high-speed sections of Highway 1 or the harsh elevation changes and blind corners from the shorter South layout.
Five new cars have been added to the game as well. Gran Turismo 7 is known for its wide variety of vehicles throughout the ages. In this update, we see the addition of the following cars:
- Honda RA272 ’65
- Italdesign Exeneo Vision (Street and Off-Road Mode)
- Citroën DS 21 Pallas ’70
- Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) ’73
Finally, the latest Gran Turismo 7 update will add new functions to the Scapes mode. The update will include support for drift photos (complete with its tutorial). You’ll be able to download this update for the game when it becomes available today. Gran Turismo 7 is currently available exclusively on PS4 and PS5.
