Gran Turismo 7 continues to improve with its latest update, v1.44, adding three new cars, events, and livery stickers inspired by the upcoming anime Highspeed Étoile. The update also includes a new background Scape and is available globally. Despite Sony not considering it a live service game, developer Polyphony Digital treats it as such, consistently adding complimentary content to the simulation racer.
The Gran Turismo 7 rendition of the Honda Civic Type R includes a loud beeping noise at redline, which also exists in the real-life car and stems from the Japanese-market Type R as a reference. This feature, aimed at indicating when to shift gears, has caused annoyance among players, with calls for its removal to enhance the gaming experience.
A ranking of all 12 Gran Turismo games has been released, with Gran Turismo 4 taking the top spot. The original Gran Turismo, which invented the genre, came in second, followed by Gran Turismo 2, Gran Turismo 3, and Gran Turismo 7. The most recent release, Gran Turismo 7, had a rocky start but has since been updated to a respectable state. The list also includes spinoffs and handheld versions, with Gran Turismo PSP and Gran Turismo 5 ranking towards the bottom.
Gran Turismo 7's upcoming update 1.31 will include a 120hz mode and VRR support, new Nurburgring Endurance layouts, events, and changes to the game's physics. The update will also introduce new rides, including the Alphard Elegance '18, Porsche 904 GTS '64, Porsche 959 '87, Audi RS5 Turbo DTM '19, and Mazda 3 '19. The Super Formula 1 cars will be added in a future patch in April. The game can be played on PS4 and PS5.
Fans of Gran Turismo 4 have discovered secret cheat codes almost 20 years after its release. The codes enable players to earn 10,000,000 Credits, automatically pass License Tests, and more. However, the codes only function after at least 365 in-game days have passed. The discovery has sparked interest in revisiting the classic PS2 game from developer Polyphony Digital.
