Gran Turismo 7 Unveils Update 1.43 with Exciting Additions

Gran Turismo 7 has recently launched update 1.43, introducing three new cars, additional races, and resolving some issues. This update is quite significant, although not as large as previous ones, it remains a valuable addition to the game.

In 2022, Gran Turismo 7 received positive feedback, earning a Metacritic score of 87. Despite criticism from some fans regarding excessive microtransactions, the game has sustained its popularity over time. This is partly attributed to Polyphony Digital's consistent delivery of content updates for the gaming community.

With the release of Gran Turismo 7 update 1.47, players can look forward to trying out three new vehicles. The latest additions include the Audi TTS Coupe ’09, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR GSR ’06, and Renault R4 GTL ’85. Audi and Mitsubishi's cars are available for purchase at Brand Central, while Renault's vehicle can be acquired through the Used Car Dealer rotation. Despite the introduction of these new cars, none of them are exorbitantly priced, with the most expensive option costing 100,000 credits. Additionally, the update brings more excitement to the game with the inclusion of three new World Circuits: Laguna Seca, Tsukuba Circuit, and Suzuka Circuit, each featuring three laps.

There's more than just cars and races in Gran Turismo 7, with new content like the addition of the Bvlgari brand to the Museum, a Lamborghini collection in the Extra Menu, and five new engine swaps for Japanese cars. These updates, along with minor localization changes and bug fixes, help keep the game fresh. Polyphony Digital's dedication to adding content ensures that Gran Turismo 7 remains one of the top PS5 racing games, especially appealing to fans of realistic gameplay and a wide range of cars.

The consistent updates have proven successful in maintaining Gran Turismo 7's popularity among gamers. Despite being nearly two years old, the game continues to perform well, even ranking as the 16th best-selling video game in January. It sits behind titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Tekken 8, Persona 3 Reload, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but still leads the pack as the top racing game on the list.
