Gran Turismo 7 Update Coming April 7

[Samus]

Looks like they actually attempted to balance the payouts by track time as well, instead of just giving the same amount to all of the races in a series. I'm impressed.

 

[champagnepowe]

Here's a nice kick in the junk. I completed all gold for Daytona circuit experience got like 50k. Just checked the update and the payout now is 800k. It's really disappointing for all the ones I've completed but at least they made the payout worth doing the tracks again.

Not all race got an increase but I have seen a few that I like to run have had decent increases.

 

[Ali_Sia]

You probably meant 727K right?😂

Yeha my bad lol. 727,000. With clean race bonus. about 25 mins
Managed to finish the race with one pit stop and a lot of fuel saving and 30 seconds ahead of P2. I think non stop is still viable with a Gt.2 car

 

[Sn0rlax]

Seems like every else is able to play judging by the posts and screenshots I'm seeing.

Unfortunately for me, the game is still broken. Some small changes have appeared though, my player profile now shows my actual collector level of 29, but when I'm on the map it's still showing as level 1.

Did you read the patch notes? You'll get paid retroactively for already completed circuit experiences, and there are instructions there on how to collect the money

 

[Lomic]

• The amount of rewards for events in the latter half of the World Circuit has been increased.
• New race events have been added to the World Circuit. The new events are as follows:

Cool, curious to see how much better are the rewards and on which events.

　・World Touring Car 600 Tokyo Expressway East Clockwise
　・World Touring Car 700 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit
　・World Touring Car 800 Sardegna Road Track A

Nice !

- Adjusted the rewards for Arcade races and Custom Races

A lot of folks will be happy with custom races. If the bump is significant.

2．Circuit Experience
- Rewards are now provided when clearing all layouts of circuits in Gold or Bronze results. If you have already achieved these results, going into the sector selection screen and exiting with the Exit button will award the prize.

VERY NICE ! You can receive the rewards even if you completed any CE before. I've bronzed 15 tracks, curious to see how much I'll gain (or is it cars ?)

4．Mission

• Added ‘The Human Comedy’ to Missions, containing 1-hour endurance races. ‘The Human Comedy’ will become playable when the player’s Collector’s Level is 23. Each endurance race event will award up to 1.2 million Cr. per event.

VERY COOL, alas I guess we will be able to get the reward only once if it is in missions ?

• Race information such as the Starting Grid, number of laps or time limit, starting method, etc. are now displayed in the Race event Quick Menu of Missions.

QOL !

5．Game Progression

• Raised the maximum cap for earned in-game credits to 100 million Cr.
• New ‘Invitations’ received hereafter will have a time limit of 30 days, instead of 14 days.

QOL too, and more time to buy is great too. Less FOMO.

6．Used Cars / Legendary Cars

• The number of cars listed in the lineup at the same time is now increased.

But they don't stay longer ? More dilemma ?

• Corrected an issue where rival cars that changed to rain tires in wet condition races after a pit stop would have slow acceleration coming out of the pits.

That was not an issue for me

16．Sound

The music will continue to change with each click in the menu...

18．Car Collection
- Added 3 new features for moving the cursor.
　・The △ button will now move the cursor to your current car.
　・The L2 button or R2 will move the cursor to the next car already acquired.
　・The □ button will move the cursor to cars with ‘NEW’ labels.

Convenient !

19．GT Auto

Still coming back to map when you want to change menu inside GT Auto ?

Lot of good things with this update, curious to check them ingame.

Select that circuit experience again, then back out. You'll get the new reward!

 

[JC_Dude]

All gold on the Nordschleife is 5 + 1 million 🤑🤑🤑

Unfortunately, it was not significant at all.

 

[GTboyz]

Payouts for Circuit experience are huge.
Suzuka gold is 1.2 milion.
I immidiatley bought half of UCD

Well, finally a reason to actually do those things then lol

 

[Matt atkins]

There are only three new events. Three! The general shortage of World Circuits events is a big part of what makes the game feel grindy, and this is all they could come up with in a month? Laughable.

Yes but there are new missions endurance races as well now

 

[well2thebone]

Amazing how exciting payouts are. Huge list of things I want to do now. WTC600 Tokyo Expressway....550k credits....I just picked up a 30 second penalty on the first lap....not sure what that's about. Getting to use a road car.

 

[Rizla]

Some dude got 1.2M for getting all gold on Spa

That was me, lots of them are 1.2 million. The Nordschleife is 1.5 million for all gold.

EDIT: The Nordschleife is 1 mill for bronze & 5 mill for Gold. I read it wrong in all the excitement.

Even though I agree with you in that the game needs more content, there’s probably more urgent matters to tackle. I see this as a bonus. They could have easily take the lowest effort road and didn’t add any races this patch.

Still, I wish there was more.

Not if you read Update Notice (1.11) it isn’t. Rejoice my friend.

[NicoloPou]

great, i was going to tackle all the WTC races. nice payouts to come

 

[foxdylan]

Roulette looks diffrent... God i hope it is

 

[topgunevo9]

How about adding more cars new and older? 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[kjeldsen]

Custom Races.. villagers want to know the payout!

 

[tonystarks131]

Custom Races.. villagers want to know the payout!

3 fifths of **** all apparently

 

[AutumnalGlow]

Custom Races.. villagers want to know the payout!

Previously, with no other settings changed, a 60 minute race on the Nordschleife was around 57k. It is now 88k.

It's hard to give an exact number on how much everything has improved, but this should give a general idea.

Edit: Reward per time still drop off massively after 1 hour

 

[Staquix]

So where is 1.10?

That's the in between patch that caused the 30hr server outage and got us all the 1m credits. They skipped that one this time and went right to the one that worked. Maybe next time.

 

[Ali_Sia]

Roulette looks diffrent... God i hope it is

I opened my 1 star roulette ticket and all options were credits. Still got the lowest credit amount😂

 

[Riptide]

Yes but there are new missions endurance races as well now

I stand to be corrected, but my memory of Kaz's recent summary of upcoming additions in gt7 did NOT include new events on the World Circuit for early April, so this is more of a bonus. New events were "promised" for later.

 

[JC_Dude]

Man, the circuit experience payouts are awesome. The lowest prize is 120k for Northern Isle (1 sector), the highest is the Nordschleife - 6 million. The likes of Barcelona and Suzuka pay out 1.2 million. I only went though maybe 2/3 of my completed ones and got up to 17 million in the bank. I also have at least 10-15 tracks not completed, so I'd say there's like 35 mil if you do all of them.

 

[Islaygaz]

That was 1.07/1.08 that caused the issue. 1.09 fixed it.

 

[bduddy]

Same. Lots of gold, same result. Curious what the other tickets look like now. I hope I shouldn't have saved them...

 

[Staquix]

It's pretty but still total bunk. I just had the same result.

 

[vonMarshall]

Very happy to see the increase prize money for the WTC 600 and 700. I like these a lot and consider them my favourite way of "grinding"... I like to take my time and race my favourite tracks with my preferred cars and experiment with tuning whilst earning credits so it never feels like a slog. Very much looking forward to the 12 lap race in WTC600 too.

The usual......
Downloading - whoosh!
Copying - 1%....zzzzzzzz...... 2%.........zzzzzzzzz....... will be today sometime!

Is the PS5 much faster? Wish I could get one.

I've been very glad I shoved an SSD in my PS4 pro. That copying crap doesn't even happen, and loading times go from about 40 seconds to about 18 seconds. Failing the acquisition of a PS5, I'd recommend that update for a PS4 pro. I couldn't say what the impact on a standard PS4 is though.

I can confirm as well, on PS4 Pro with SSD, installation is much faster. Horizon Forbidden West is not even playable without it. From what I read, basic PS4 does not profit as much from the SSD as the Pro.
