Gran Turismo 7 receives an exciting update with version 1.38.
The PlayStation servers are currently undergoing an update rollout, resulting in temporary downtime and rendering GT7 unplayable. However, players can expect the game to be back online shortly, allowing them to experience the exciting features of this update.
Once the 3.81 GB patch is installed, players will gain access to update 1.38, which offers a modest selection of content.
This includes the addition of two normal cars, namely the Honda Civic Type R ’22 and the Garage RCR Civic, along with the expansion of the Gr.4 roster with the Mazda3.
Although not particularly surprising after the teaser tweet over the weekend, it is still refreshing to see these additions.
Moreover, two new Extra Menus have been introduced, which only require players to own a trio of cars instead of completing races. These menus include the No.29 Porsche Supercars and No.30 GR.
In addition to the car updates, there are also new Scapes spots available, featuring a Nissan plant, as well as three new races. However, it is worth noting that the update does not offer a significant amount of new content.
Overall, while the update may not meet everyone’s expectations, it provides some noteworthy additions to GT7.
