Polyphony Digital has recently announced the release of its latest update for Gran Turismo 7, V1.31, which is set to hit the game on March 30. The update will introduce new cars, tracks, and technical improvements to the game, providing players with an even more immersive racing experience.
Details of the Update
The V1.31 update for Gran Turismo 7 is set to include a range of exciting changes and improvements intended to enhance gameplay and realism. Players can expect new cars, track layouts, and events, along with updates to graphics and technical specifications such as 120Hz and Variable Refresh Rate.
One of the most significant changes in the V1.31 update is to the GT Café, with new menu books and conversations with car designers. Additionally, adjustments to suspension physics, tire model, and aerodynamics have been made.
In terms of driver assists, online lobby keyboard controls and sport mode have been adjusted for better functionality. The Legendary Cars category has undergone some price adjustments, while circuit experiences and license tests have also seen changes.
Other miscellaneous changes include adjustments to driving missions, pit menus, and the removal of a special event.
Five New Cars
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of the V1.31 update is the addition of five new cars into Gran Turismo 7. These include the Audi RS5 Turbo DTM ’19, Mazda 3 X Burgundy Selection ’19, Porsche 959 ’87, Porsche Carrera GTS (904) ’64 and Toyota Alphard Executive Lounge ’18.
The Audi RS5 Turbo DTM ’19 was Rene Rast’s championship-winning #33 car but it’s unclear if other liveries will be available or selectable in this addition. This update will have the most new cars included in any previous Gran Turismo 7 update.
The Porsche Carrera GTS (904) ’64 brought massive success to its GT racing efforts in the 1960s, while the Mazda3 X Burgundy Selection ’19 is hailed as a revolutionary combustion system in a 4th generation C-segment passenger car. The Toyota Alphard Executive Lounge ’18 is Japan’s ultimate premium luxury minivan that has held onto its title since its first appearance in 2002.
New Track Layouts and Technical Improvements
Along with the new cars, two new layouts for Nurburgring have been introduced. These include the Nurburgring Endurance and Nurburgring Sprint, providing players with even more exciting tracks to race on.
Gran Turismo 7 now also supports up to 120FPS with the latest V1.31 update. This requires a PS5 and display capable of 120 Hz output, as well as an internet connection and the Gran Turismo 7 game. Additionally, new “Cherry Blossoms” Scapes scenes curation has been added, with 28 new locations for shooting vehicles near Japan’s iconic sakura trees.
Release Date and Availability
The V1.31 update for Gran Turismo 7 will be live on March 30 during the scheduled maintenance period. Players should be aware that they won’t be able to play or save their game until the update has been installed.
In conclusion, the V1.31 update for Gran Turismo 7 brings many exciting new features to this game, including five new cars, two new track layouts, technical improvements that enhance gameplay and realism, including up to 120FPS output capability with a PS5 device and display. Players can look forward to an even more immersive and enjoyable racing experience than before!
