Polyphony Digital has released its first major update for Gran Turismo 7, version 1.11. The patch has been eagerly awaited as the title came under fire over its in-game economy, apparently aimed at pushing players to spend more on microtransactions.
This latest update brings more ways to earn Credits and increases existing Credit awards for completing events to ease the grind. The new patch is available today for PS4 and PS5 and the download size for the latter is 917 MB.
Update 1.11 adds new World Circuits events, including a World Touring Car 600 event at Tokyo Expressway, a WTC700 race at Le Mans, and a WTC800 Sardegna race, and tweaks some races in the latter half of the GT Café campaign to provide increased Credit rewards.
In the Circuit Experience mode, rewards are now provided when clearing all layouts of circuits with Gold or Bronze results. If players have already achieved these results, going into the sector selection screen and exiting with the ‘Exit’ button will award the prize.
A new challenge called “The Human Comedy” with 1-hour endurance races has been added to Missions. It becomes available to players after reaching Collector’s Level 23 and can bring up to 1.2 million Credits in rewards per event.
Even some core systems of the game itself have been tweaked: the physics when landing from a jump, mainly on dirt tracks, has been improved.
Polyphony Digital has promised more improvements in future GT7 patches, including the addition of 24-hour races and the option to sell vehicles. If you still haven’t made up your mind about the game, check out our Gran Turismo 7 review.
