Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.29 Will Be “Big”; Four Cars Confirmed Alongside PSVR2 Support​

As we already knew, Gran Turismo 7’s v1.29 update will be arriving on February 21 and bring along PlayStation VR2 support for the title (on PS5). However GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has now confirmed that it will bring other content — as expected — and promises it will be a “big” update...

Kaz really tripping everyone up with this one huh

 

[BigMackAttack]

It says in the article Ford is seen as the last original VGT outstanding... does that mean the Nike/Jordan cars have been officially scrapped? They're still listed on the VGT page and I've been waiting a literal decade for them.

 

[barak181]

So much for all the predictions of this update only adding VR support.

 

[Galvston]

maybe its the nurburgring layouts + grand valley? time to surprise folk

 

[QTheRacer_31]

Fancy stuff. With VR coming to GT7, let’s hope all VGTs have a fully detailed cockpit. This new one looks interesting. I’m surprised they’re saying Ford is the only one left as there are still 6 projects on the original VGT website.

Big update is tomorrow's daily race A which is in rally

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Looking forward to that classic open-wheel racer! Having one that is that low to the ground is going to be a blast. Looking forward to taking it out on Goodwood.

 

[Johnny Caisse]

Looks fun! My biggest must-have in this list is the Classic Citroën DS! I'm a big fan of historic french cars! 😁

 

[Grimm6Jack]

One of them look VGT-esque, so this update really has 3 cars and not 4.
But the other 3 do look interesting, or at least 2 of them, the older looking F1 car (I was wishing it would be a Lotus 25 '63, the one Jim Clark drove, but that's not possible) and the Citroen DS. The 911 is probably one of the 70s, but it's not possible to tell apart which version, hopefully not a "variant" of an already existing generational 911.
The 959 apparently is too crap to be in this game.

That aside, it's confirmed it's going to be a "normal" update since cars are involved, and not just the PSVR2 thing. So I can expect some decent events to play this game for once other than testing top speeds of my more powerful tuned cars on the SSRX American Race daily to get the roulette of doom.
I won't hold my breath though. It's PD after all, too damn dumb and irrational to think of something like that. Hopefully one of them reads this.

 

[CMoeller]

Finally a GP car from the 60’s. Don’t think we had any from that era in GT. Can’t wait for this update!

 

[Sharpie]

Looks like open wheel car is this

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Ah, so there are new cars getting added afterall. 3 historic cars and 1 Vision GT concept.

Well, it's a small improvement from the 3 cars per month we had at the start I guess. I'm predicting the track addition to be the Nurburgring Sprint layout. Though, I really don't know why PD took so long to add a new layout to a track they had for a while.

 

[MIE1992]

What if that “Porsche” is actually the RUF CTR? I could’ve sworn the Yellowbird was in the datamined list, too.

 

[mastretta_mx]

Now we need a modern F1 car, but looks unlikely, Mercedes cars are now on iRacing and I am not sure if LH partnership could prevent f1 cars from other teams to potentially come to the game

It's already been confirmed as the Honda RA272.

Nope, look closer and you'll see chrome mirrors and bumpers, thus the 2.7 Carrera RS.

I think it's the Honda RA272 based on the exhaust pipe.

Slight typo (or 2) at the end of the article. It's February, though it still seems like January.

 

[bduddy]

There has to be a new track, right? Even if the new VGT is a group 3 or 4, that wouldn't change the details for the Manufacturer's Cup race, it's not like they list every manufacturer. Of course PD could just be doing a bamboozle again...

 

[VinylRichie]

Yes, the Goddess, finally!

 

[neddyie116]

Citroen DS star of this update.

 

[Ingwe2k]

Just recently bought a Citroen with Hydropneumatic suspension and been delving into Citroen history quite a bit recently so the DS couldn't have come at a better time for me. Old Porsche.... Excellent. The others, a bit meh but all in all a very pleasing update. Now to win the lottery to justify the cost of psvr 🤣

Man just keep you fingers from that keyboard away.

The Porsche & Honda F1 are great additions, though I'm at the point I would rather have paid content, there would be at least some influence over what content is created, that that doesn't sell would tell the developer what the consumer wants & doesn't want.

 

[Artremis]

Single seaters are quite incredible in VR racing games - very smart choice for the VR2 update.

 

[Dave A]

Decent car choice, but as always, where we can use them will play a big part in how useful they are.

I'm hoping, though not expecting, we get a lot of new events with this update.

 

[bduddy]

Japanese doesn't really have the concept of plural nouns and no amount of machine translators will change that. I would assume the different English wording than usual is meaningful.

 

[ToyGTone]

I wonder if they will do anything in regards to the launch anniversary? Probably not much or maybe nothing at all.

 

[suomi1]

Exciting new extra menus incoming!

I believe we already know for a fact that PD can and do directly see the data of what people are and aren't using in the game. They don't need to hide it behind a paywall. I also feel compelled to point out that if Kaz wants Gran Turismo to be about these kinds of cars, he's going to do it anyway.
