Gran Turismo 6

Since the PlayStation 3 encryption keys were published by hackers back in 2011, both GT5 and GT6 have been targeted by users looking to modify the games beyond their intended parameters. Although “hacks” have always been a part of video gaming and even the GT series, it now takes on a new seriousness, as it threatens the integrity and fairness of online competitions.

Since the official debut of GM Design’s Chaparral 2X Vision GT concept car at the LA Auto Show yesterday, more in-game screenshots of the car in Gran Turismo 6 have been released, along with photos of the full-size 2X model unveiled at Chevrolet’s press event.

Another new batch of Time and Drift Trials are now available in the latest round of GT6 Seasonal Events. Keep in mind that additional new events, featuring the updated BMW M4, were also released last night with the launch of GT6 update 1.14.
