I'll leave all the content predictions to you lot, you're all better at it than I am. Instead I'll make the totally bold prediction that they fix the Americas circuit list so that you can pick Colorado Springs with the d-pad again.

I didn't even know that was a problem.

Such a odd bug.

25. January ( some guy wrote to Sony about wheel problems and he got feedback it will be fixed 25. jan 24)

1. gen. vgt ( because it was announced )
2. japan road car from 90s ( like they always do )

No track ( as ussually)

some bug fixes, game stability fixes ( major thing in this game )

I predict they include Sophy on a few more tracks. Which I could care less about.

For fun last night I raced a bunch of Sophy events. I don’t have enough fingers to count how many times I got blocked by Sophy more than once down a straight. I legit thought I was online and forgot this was AI.

They brag Sophy up, but they’re still way behind on providing good AI compared to other games imo.

I got a run out a corner on Spa, see an opening on the left (1v1) so I veer left, Sophy moves over, ok I’ll go right… just as I’m nearing, Sophy moves right and squeezes me off the track.
—————————————————————————————————————


As for cars, hopefully some older ones. A lot of the new cars for me lack character in the handling. Most of the older cars all feel very different to drive.

More Historic races and maybe some not limited to 580pp.

Would be nice to see more cars that competed in real life with cars we have. Skyline Silhouette vs Zakspeed Capri. Porsche 917k vs Ferrari 512. Maybe give us some big block chevy’s to compete with the boss 429 and challenger etc. for some reason we only have small block chev’s. More muscle cars would be cool… AMC Javelin perhaps.

oh and new tracks. Autumn Ring and something else.

Predictions don't need to be right to be predictions, they only need to be based on evidence.

based upon this, i predict that there will be a server update to fix bugs or anomalies.

 

[Zenwarrior]

5 cars,
Genesis VGT
Bvlgari VGT
Maserati MC12
Mazda Autozam AZ1
Ferrari Daytona or Lamborghini Sian

But as usual, we might get a dissapointment

 

[SM_Marti]

5 cars
Genesis VGT and Gr.1 counterpart
Honda Castrol Mugen
Mazda Autozam
BMW Isetta

• New events
• Multiclass in lobbies and singleplayer
• Improving servers connection
• New missions based on the most famous from GT Sport

 

[Sharpie]

I predict unpredictable in January update.

 

[VinylRichie]

Genesis VGT
Mazda Autozam AZ-1
Lamborghini Espada
Some Race Car
Some unexpected Street Car

New Kei-Car Events and a few others
2 New Menu Books
Sophy on more tracks (and maybe even cars too)

 

[TumeK5]

But as usual, we might get a dissapointment

Might?

 

[Ande3200]

If the update drops on january 25 it would make the gap to 2,5 months witch would be the longest so far, then their really needs to be at least 5 cars, and other worthy content

Something tells me that if we get a late January update, a February one won't happen. However, there's still time for a mid January update, then I could see another one coming next month. I feel like at this point PD is really starting to slow down the pace on update frequency. Maybe that's the unfortunate side effect of Spec II.

PD we’re already slowing down the pace of updates before spec 2 came along

 

[GlamFM]

If we believe in patterns we can expect silhouettes on the 21st and the drop on the 25th.

 

[RobertHammer]

Just because they skipped one month doesnt mean they slowing down the pace ...

they did the same in '22 too yet here we are

also GT8 most likely will be at least 2027

I can see GT8 happening a bit sooner if only to ditch last gen and its restrictions completely.

I don't see them dropping GT7 support sooner than GTS imo - only thing they could do is silently leaving the PS4 version and focusing on PS5 version instead

 

[Mathaios_C]

3 cars, a bunch of new events and bug fixes…that’s it

 

[hyperspeed980]

There will be cars.
A few will be VGTs.
Many will complain.

 

[I-M-Pulsive]

Anybody even wants to pick that track? 😂

 

[adrs2k]

I just wish they would take advantage of major races around the world and give these updates some sort of theme. It would be great marketing for them and make updates IMO more interesting. With the Daytona 24hr and the Dubai 24hr this month there is a lot of great opportunity to add new and relevant cars (even liveries) from each race, track updates (rain at Daytona cough cough), or even introduce a new race track other months if it aligns with a big event. I can't stop thinking how amazing that would be!

 

[MoLiEG]

At this point, they could actually be done with updates.

 

[Snake55wildcat]

At this point, they could actually be done with updates.

except we know they arent due to the vgts they are obligated to deliver (the genesis vgt at the very least)

Anyways for my predictions:

• Genesis VGT
• Genesis VGT Gr1
• Mazda autozam AZ-1?
• Some feature addition no one asked for but that some might get some use of

I'm personally excited for the Genesis VGT Gr1 myself, as long as it isn't OP (the Porsche 919 needs bop nerfs)

 

[Lux Klonoa]

Uh, kinda surprising that no one has mentioned this yet, but I expect Daiki Kasho's music to be updated with the ones on the OST. There's two of his GT7 mixes that are not in the game yet.

 

[Porras]

Sony Vision Afeela will be in the update?
