Gran Turismo 7 Next Update Improves Credits and Rewards, New Cars and Tracks Coming Late April
After a controversial week since Update 1.07, which saw Gran Turismo 7 suffer a 32 hour downtime and spread mass discussion regarding the game’s credit payouts and microtransactions, Polyphony Digital President Kazunori Yamauchi has released a statement and detailed new player experience updates coming throughout next month.
Posting over on the PlayStation Blog, Yamauchi-san details that a considerable patch will launch in the beginning of April, increasing the number of events, rebalancing the reward system with greater balance, and as a gesture of good-will, players who log in between now and April 25th will receive 1 million Cr.
The changes Yamauchi-San lists coming in early April as follows:
Increase rewards in the events in the latter half of the World Circuits by approximately 100% on average.
Addition of high rewards for clearing the Circuit Experience in all Gold/All Bronze results.
Increase of rewards in Online Races.
Include a total of eight new one-hour Endurance Race events to Missions. These will also have higher reward settings.
Increase the upper limit of non-paid credits in player wallets from 20M Cr. to 100M Cr.
Increase the quantity of Used and Legend cars on offer at any given time.
Yamauchi-San also revealed that we will see our first post-launch content update launch for Gran Turismo 7 at the end of April, teasing new cars and tracks will be included in this update alongside other fixes that have yet to be detailed.
Looking to the future, Yamauchi-San also commented on features coming in the near-terms the team are currently working on, such as the ability to be able to sell your cars. While no dates or specifics were shared, players can expect:
Increase the payout value of limited time rewards as we develop as a live service.
Further World Circuit event additions.
Addition of Endurance Races to Missions including 24-hour races.
Addition of Online Time Trials and awarding of rewards according to the player’s difference with the top ranked time.
