Gran Turismo 7 Update Coming July 28

[Grimm6Jack]

GT2 had the best selection of obscure cars, at least for me...

Add the Lotus Elise GT1, Suzuki Cultus Pikes Peak, Ford GT90, Jaguar XJR15,
And it was the game that introduced others like the Nissan R390 and Toyota TS020 GT-One, with both the race cars and road cars and the TVR Cerbera Speed 12, the Suzuki Escudo. IIRC the Shelby Daytona Coupe was also in that game.

GT2 was one hell of a game. IMO the 2nd best after GT4. While it had like 100+ duplicates, the total roster was still over 600 cars. And a lot of "unusual" cars no one would expect in video games.

Vector and Venturi looked like Ferraris or Lambos to my young self.

Exactly, I mean the very first GT7 content update really set the scene with a great circuit variation that we absolutely didn’t need but hey - who are we to truly judge?

In all honesty though, knowing PD I can see them not releasing a new track this update but I pray I’m wrong…

You can forget about that... Tracks are usually shown in trailers. So no track this month.

I'm just waiting for the update itself or the patch notes to see actual fixes like the Lobbies, selling cars, new race events/missions.
The feature I really would've liked right now (and probably the most requested as it should've been in the game at launch) is to sell cars.

Edit: Duh

PATCH UPDATE 1.19 IS NOW AVAILABLE?

Update: PS5 boot annd..... no update available. Hmm theyre wrong, and somebody posted this early?

It is not available until around 0600 UTC on July 28, and yes somebody (GT's social media agency, Engage Digital Partners) has employed the wrong phrasing.


Article lightly amended with the information we didn't already know. Which wasn't much, though the Tomica Town thing is properly crazy.

Best update ever!

As someone who collects Tomica, this makes me incredibly happy 😁

 

[Eggstor]

That's it? No new races or events? I'm gonna grab my popcorn, this is gonna be entertaining

That doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be either new menu books or events. The similar page introducing the 1.17 update, which did mention the extra menu collection items, did not mention the events at the freshly-introduced Watkins Glen. The page introducing the 1.15 update did not mention either the 3 extra menu books or the events that made up said books.

The one thing that we can be almost certain of is there won't be any new tracks this time around.

 

[Touring Mars]

I better not forget I've got an important work meeting at 8 am (?!) tomorrow...

... but at least it should be finished in time for the update to drop. I love this update, the cars are absolutely phenomenal and the Tomica Town Scapes are fantastic!!

 

[AlexWilmot]

No but the pp warning is on there

Sorry I must be blind, where is this?

I concur with some of the voices in this thread to be honest. 3 cars isn't very much, with no new tracks it'll have to be an action-packed update from an event perspective to make me feel this update is anything to shout home about.

The cars are interesting, for sure, but I, personally, don't care much for the classic cars like the maserati. I like the nostalgia of the Silhouette, but without any equivalent cars it'll be slightly pointless other than hot-lapping and the Pork? Meh.

It has some more or less equivalent cars, such ones as the Aston Martin DB3S or the Jaguar D-Type. But yes, you first need all the credits to purchase them, and they are not cheap

A toy city scape location, no new track and three cars I'll only drive once or twice, wonderful! well hopefully the patch notes are good. 🤷‍♂️

No new gameplay features are usually included in these content notes, so there's ideally a lot to look forward to outside of them.
If there is nothing else, then that's a whole new problem.

 

[mynameis66]

It does seem a tad disappointing but who knows until we get the update,trying to stay positive but each month gets harder to remain positive. Ever hopefull though.
Im looking forward to seeing some great liveries for the R30 though.

 

[Matt atkins]

I’m sure there will be. They add events in every content update. It’s just a matter of what events and how many?! Will it be Menu Book events or single events. Personally I want some more championships - maybe even a 10 race Gr.1 Championship!!

Same here I need to have new tracks to do now specially now I have covid

 

[CeeJay]

No new track or events?? .... cars that I will probably only be able to use in events if I drastically de-tune them?

The Watkins Glen update spoiled me, I need a new track

There’ll probably be three new events as a minimum. Wait for final update notes to confirm.

I’m starting to get mildly confused by the amount of people who were expecting a whole new track. Watkins Glen was added one month ago after nearly four months of none being added. Surely the next one isn’t quite ready yet?

We don't know about new events until the update patch notes are released. Always been that way.

 

[NikNakTobasco]

Can someone explain the point of selling cars. Obviously you won’t be able to sell gifted cars so why did you buy them if you want to sell them?

 

[The OG]

For once I actually like all 3 cars in the update… I hope a new track is added but I doubt it and also hope you can sell cars but doubt that happens as well...I am still working on getting every car in the game so I will be in no rush to get these 3 new cars unless it’s in the legend section then I will have to buy immediately lol

For now, I'm betting on 2 tracks per year. It would be fantastic if they came out every month, but at this rate, I don't see another new one until Christmas.

Toyota GR Cup has an unspecified track for an August event, meaning we're due one either this month or the next, so it's not a massive stretch to have expected one this update.

People want the credit returns, but think they can sell gift cars...

On the topic - does our collector level reduce if we sell cars? It increases by the value of each car we collect, but if we sell all cars but leave one GT Kart, will our collector points drop to 10?

Can't get much better than fixing K-car thumbnails. Those were the best patch notes I've ever seen.

 

[SomeGamer2021]

I would love if they(?) Seasonal Events returned.

Rapid edit: what, do I have a stroke? XD

 

[FerrariF40]

Lets hope they finally improved FFB, otherwise this game is dead.

This guys here thinks

I asked somewhat the same question around here once and the person said to me he wanted to remove the car from it’s garage
I said wait : can’t you already remove undesired/unwanted cars from your garage?
He said : yes

And then I don’t recall if the discussion really ended or what was the point for him to sell cars if he just wants to remove them from is « virtual » garage because he does not like them ? 🤷‍♂️

 

[Canucks_9419]

Why do people still think after ~5 years of updating these most recent games this way, that they will ever put patch notes in the promotional video, or release said notes before the patch is available? 🤔

Apparently (have not tested myself) your collector’s points do not drop if you remove or get rid of obtained cars.
So once you had it you do not revert to a lesser level.

 

[BangsMcCoy]

To get at least some of the money back from cars we purchased but ended up not liking or no longer need because it was good for 1 event that we no longer race, or we ended up getting a duplicate of as a gift car so we’d like to sell the one we bought and keep the gifted one.
But there are also people who hope that you will be able to sell gifted/prize cars just like with the older games. Yes, this is unlikely, but some people hope for it as they have every right to.

I have 10 Toyota Aquas sitting in my garage collecting dust, waiting to be sold.
