GT6 has remained untouched since the long-awaited Course Maker was introduced to the game in Update 1.21, and now has announced a short maintenance period for next week.
The maintenance period is set to last for approximately two hours, scheduled for November 30th. This will start around 0400 UTC (convert to your time zone here) and end at around 0600 UTC, though the time at which you’re able to log back in again may vary.
Although a maintenance notice certainly does not guarantee a game update will be made available, it can’t entirely be ruled out as maintenance periods typically precede update releases.

Does this mean GT6 is done and all the focus is on GT Sport? It would be nice if PD would at least continue with VGT updates for GT6, but now I’m thinking about selling my G27 and getting ready for PS4 abd GT Sport.
I wouldn’t say it’s unlikely. GTS’ beta is very close.
From what I’ve read from PD and this site it seems that the vgt cars will be released in the forth coming games on the PS4.
I agree… It seems that GT6 is on the final stages…
@machine1121, I’d say no, and no. We literally have no idea what is going to happen with GT6 from this point forward because PD is happy to remain silent about it’s current game. There could be 10 more VGT’s coming or none, we have no way to know. GTS is promising a beta in the spring but I wouldn’t count on that either. Deadlines and promises come and go for PD without a word from them so the beta could be spring, could be summer, could be fall, there’s no way to know. I’d be looking at Christmas/Boxing Week sales for a good deal on PS4 and a wheel as you could save yourself some good coin. Project Cars is worth playing and DC is also fun so you’ll have something to tide you over. Assetto Corsa is due out in the spring as well and hopefully hits it’s target date.
PD announce “server maintenance” and kids go berserk because it turns out “server maintenance” is “server maintenance” only!?! What a enjoyable community it is.
You are absolutely right. And aren’t VGT cars usually released when the seasonal events update?
April fools joke in December. Made me giggle=)
Well #%&$, Nothing, did not even know about that bug, wonder what happened to the Bugatti and the Hyundai VGT cars. We never did get them. Guess it was a teaser only. Nobody a bigger GT fan than me but I did just buy Project Cars. Hope it does not take me away from GT.
It depends on how you look at PCars. I brought it and sold it in less than two weeks PCars gives you everything that is available in game immediately and is a pure focus on racing. That may be fins for some, but as an GT player since its inception, I was bored quickly. It was nice driving some of the GT3 cars not in GT, most notably the RUF SMS-R with the lovely gtplanet livery.
But try it out for sure. Some love it and swear by it. I was not one of those people.
So is it just rutine server maintenance or ?
A Bug fix as a update ? Very poor PD
Hahahahaha!! Kazunori Yamauchi, you are too funny!! (-_-)”
Yay!!! The patch is out!! Was waiting to see something like 1gb to download… then only 35mb???!!
BUT, the server is still “undergoing maintenance”, so maybe there’s more to come…
FINGERS CROSSED!
Hopefully when I get back from lunch later there’ll be news…
Either that or people will be majorly pissed!
15min…..
ribloGT—-??? what???
I turned on My PS3 having breakfast to see if they already did the maintenance and it downloaded the 1.22 patch about 35MB…
It was still under maintenance and wasnt able to check the content but such a small patch leads me to think about just the xmas music and events and/or minor fixings…
BTW i am in Italy… Maybe some People from other countries Will be able to check the contenta of the patch…
The servers are still under maintenance but the 1.22 patch is just 35mb…
Probably just the Xmas music and events…
lol
The maintenance hasn’t taken place yet.
With Project Cars going strong, it’s hard to believe anyone still cares about this game.
& I used to be the biggest GT fan walking.
I still play to GT6.
But I will abandon it slowly not because of Project Cars but GT Sport ;)
Come on. Give us some hope.
Maybe a GT6 2.0.
They better have a new Lamborghini by then!
Perhaps I’m confused.
But how does UTC time make it Nov 30th, and not Dec 1st?
The date of the news item seems wrong to me.
Possibly an update for the Buggati and Hyundai VGTs. Any other cars will have to wait for GT Sport.
Who says the others have to wait till GT Sport? I’m sure they will be added to GT6 as planed.
@SVPSkins
Who says?
No-one.
GTSPORT Beta isn’t until ‘early’ or ‘spring’ 2016 depending on which quote you wish to use.
Release date isn’t know, but without question significantly later.
Probably late 2016.
VGT is a 15th anniversary GT project.
Therefore designed for GT6.
There is no evidence that VGT’s won’t come to GT6.
And indeed, that also includes other cars as well, such as the Toyota S-FR.
GT6 on the PS3 will almost without question be supported well beyond GTSPORT on the PS4.
The surely means 2017.
Additional content will still come to GT6.
Correct. There is no evidence VGT’s won’t come to GT6. There’s also no evidence that GT6 will be supported into 2017 or that additional content will still come to GT6.
Do you not think GT will continue as it is …while sport is a side track to a FIA competition and a chance to experiment with VR fully exsperianceing the interior of future cars and the Bugatti is in the middle of both worlds…
SS308 you pretty much went in in-depth version of my reply.
I just want a detailed supra rz. I’m not asking for much PD. I know you think we’re stupid fans but we also pay you your stupid money that you spend God knows where on stupid stuff like GT Academy and adding more Nissans to the game. Please for heavens sake just listen to us.
GT8 or 9 maybe?
I feel your frustration my man I need that supra lol…
One of the most requested car to be made into premium. NFS didn’t even include the RZ, they gave the SZ-R
I want a premium Supra sooooo bad.
@manasseh257NSX I feel you bro.. My man Kaz must have something against the Supra lol. Its cool to have the SZ-R and the RZ but we need a 98 premium RZ!
But at least the GT500 version of the Toyota supra is detailed and it’s also a base model where u can change colour, wheels and number plate.
For god’s sake PD.
Give these sheep a premium Supra RZ.
The significance of this particular car is what exactly??
The number of more significant cars is endless.
And yet they all complain about this one car.
One person complains, they all follow.
It’s beyond painful watching these sheep all complain about the same car.
For the love of god, put me out of my misery.
It’s also painful watching people like you ridicule others for what they want. It’s an extremely popular car among auto enthusiasts and GT fans, your comments are unnecessary and insulting.
^ +1.
Reading some people post are just crazy omg lol!! Anyway any new content is welcome over here!!
GT6 2.0 ??
Hyundai and Bugatti VGT? SF-R? Course Maker/Suspend Championship glitch?
Maybe there will be an update to include Christmas music in the background like in previous years. Everybody know that’s more important than better offline racing, new tracks, or new cars.
Never be mean about the Christmas music, I really loved hearing that on GT5. It seemed like such a nice touch.
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas this year is:
1) To be able to change from regular tracks to custom tracks and back again without having to create a new lobby.
2) Oil changes within the online lobby.
3) Tuning during a pit stop.
4) Less tire screech or a setting to turn down it’s volume.
5) A 4th tab that sets the car to stock, how you bought it, without changing any of the other 3 tabs.
Thank You for listening.
Happy Holidays Everyone
This would be good! I’m not expecting it but I like everything you listed!
Mmmmmm,so GT6 will maybe have a update with two fake cars without detailed interior… Why PD it takes to you 5 months since the last Vision launched?

That one of the reasons i seld the GT6 game, and one off the reasons that i don’t think about buying GTS or GT7
When you put it that way…holy cow!!
How many of those cars were already in GT6 at it’s release date? A few. After driving several racing games I always go back to Gran Turismo and the others are in a drawer. I am glad all these other racing games came out on PS4 before GT Sport and/or 7. Gives PD a chance to see the best others had to offer and to come out with something better. Only time will tell. PD must release something great next time with all the other competition out there that fans seem to really like.
In 6 months SMS released 6 free DLC cars, as well 35 DLC cars + 3 new track locations + 2 classic layouts for US$34 (all cars have interiors, all tracks have dynamic weather and time change), and there’s 6 more cars coming next month, plus more cars & tracks coming next year. SMS also added more career events, and PCars has much better options for setting up offline races than GT6.
Imo PD should pay attention to what other games are doing and try to implement good features from other games into GT.
you have to keep in mind that 1/4 of that car list was about 50-100% finished before the game was out
Yes ynot…most of the 1000 cars in GT6 and GT5 are the same of those from GT4…and with their broken physics and the most cars without detailed interior in GT6 showed to me that quantity is not quality!
I was just like you, i came back every time to GT…till i met Pcars and till i played Assetto Corsa… Since that day i just sell GT and don’t even missed it.
In Pcars i just have all i wanted, Offline endurance, better history mode, online simple but effective, better simulation, better IA,better sounds,damage..visual and mechanical.. All cars detailed inside and outside,track flags. And the game with the most real tracks selection on console.. All of them with 24H cycle and dynamic climes.. Etc etc etc..
Also i really like that the studio cares about what you think about the game, and try to fix or improve the quality of the game with the feedback of the users..
So PD can learn really a lot from them..
Well Donnced, I’m about to find out. Getting a PS4 here in a couple of weeks. Been holding out until a game came out that I wanted and waiting to see what happens with the wheel manufactuerers. Star Wars is the one. Not a must have by any means but I love space sci-fi stuff. Will have to get a copy of PCARS. Originally was going to come out on PS3 but I guess the machine just has too many limitations as GT6 seems to be tapped out. Hoping PD can deliver a really good game next time out. I’m sure it will be.
Alot of you seem to forget a very important fact and it amazes me you do. Licensing. With out that, no real cars or tracks can be added to GT games. You think Kaz doesn’t want all those cars in the list above added to GT title in the future? I’m pretty confident he does but with out that licence agreement, it’s not going to happen and the only people stopping that from happening are the Manufacturers or Track owners.
PD already has business relationships with everyone on Donnced’s list except for Ariel and Lykan, both of whom are anxious for exposure. Licensing is a non-issue for any of these cars. And if PCars can afford to license on their shoestring budget, I’m sure PD can too.
Yes it is very sad what has become of my once favorite racing game, Gran Turismo. Seems PD and Kaz have become extremely lazy or disorganized or complacent, or arrogant, or… something.
GT as a whole is in shambles as far as I am concerned and I will never spend another dime on a playstion system or GT game unless their go back to their roots, which to me means concentrating on the career mode of GT, and making it fun and interesting again, like it was before the terrible GT5 and the awful GT6.
It seems as the GFX and physics get better, the game play and total experience gets worse at an exponential rate.
The physics issues that are never fixed are inexcusable, the ai is pathetic, and the career mode is a slap in the face to any long time GT fan. The extreme lack of new content such as updated and new cars is also pathetic, and the stale and boring to-the-point-of-agony “seasonals” scheme is horrific. The “chase-the-rabbit” ai and non standing starts are icing on the maggot infested pooh cake.
Oh well.. might as well get over it and move on. The excellent GT as we knew it long ago is as dead as the V12 in Formula 1. Thanks Kaz, for wrecking a once great racing game.
Well BWX, us GT fans will just be sitting over here enjoying all of the great advantages GT has over other games, like better replays, photo mode, Course Creator, etc. :)
Unfortunate that all the advantages that GT has have nothing to do with driving or racing.
My wish of an update is impossible, just make a DETAILED supra. Is that too much to ask. lol
Omg why PD do this to us lol!! Can’t wait to get a premium Supra
Am I the only one in here who wants an update that gives all cars to the arcade mode? Sadly, I know it won’t be the update I want.
I’m hoping for the SF-R.
This update is probably going to give us the Toyota sf- rs
And possibly the two vgt cars.
I dont have much hope in this update,
probably just a little fixes
All i know whatever it is it cant be bad.
Don’t we normally get a Christmas treat about this time, a series of races that pay good credits and have great prize cars ?
Well first update with no course creator hype. I will be just normal fixes and stuff. not expecting any cars to be added.
I hope this fixes the lag that CM tracks create when using them online..
Buggatti VGT no interia ..saved until Sport VR has been launched…
Bugatti VGT???
Why can’t I post a hype train meme here? :(
Why would you try to anyway? The hype train is one of the main reasons the community is so crappy right now, and you know it.
Because it’s super fun. It’s the lack of a steady stream of meaningful content that makes the community crappy, not the hype train.
You know how it works. A maintenance/update is announced, people get hyped up about it. Then they start speculating about whatever may be in the update, and the hype builds up even more. And then it’s revealed that there isn’t an update, or the contents of it were not what was expected. Then a certain small number of users start flinging even more crap at PD than they usually do, and anyone who either enjoys the content of the update or tries to discuss the matter with them gets savaged to no end. Anyone who isn’t wearing rose-tinted glasses can see that. Want evidence? Try every single news post regarding an update to either GT5 or GT6.
And “the lack of meaningful content?” GT6 already has four times the cars FM6 did on launch, and over 12 times the number of cars pCARS had, and now that the TPE is out, we get dozens and dozens of tracks every *day.* With FM6, I could probably wring every single drop of enjoyment out of it in about two months, give or take. pCARS… well, let’s not go there. Yet I don’t see you complaining about the lack of content in those games.
Scratch that. A better place to look would be in update threads.
New content trumps 10 year old content any day. It’s the new stuff people want, most could care less about all the legacy assets in GT6 we’ve been playing them to death for a decade. They’re old, they’re massively out of date, and thrown into the game just to pad the car and track count. It’s nothing to brag about believe me. And just so you know, FM is about to pass the GT series for current gen content and there’s little doubt their car library is more varied, more eclectic, more relevant and more current. If they included all their cars from Forza 1-4 I’m sure they’d have 1000+ cars too.
Well said @TeamCZRRacing.
What version of GT6 are you playing with 1800 cars? That’s my main question, really.
@SlipZtrem Yeah, I looked that over after I posted it and realized I’d made a math mistake. My bad.
@Johnnypeonso So none of the classic cars in GT6 count if they’re not also in FM6, AC or pCARS? Goodness, your view of GT6 is awfully selective. You only see what you want to, it seems.
No idea what point you’re trying to make. As I already mentioned, regardless of how much content is in a game or how big it is, people want new stuff. That’s why people get hyped over updates and often get disappointed. They want new stuff. 90 % of the cars and more than 80% of the tracks in GT6 were recycled content. We’ve already played it to death. Playing old content is not an answer to a lack of additional DLC any more than telling someone to play a previous version of the game is. It’s new content that keeps a game fresh and alive and that’s what’s missing from GT6. It’s beaten by the lowly Project Cars in DLC volume already and can’t hold a candle to FM.
So you’d rather a game ship with virtually no content and have to buy additional packs first rather than having tons of content there at your fingertips? Look, most of GT6’s content may be recycled, but perhaps if you weren’t so bent on having the latest and greatest constantly you may actually enjoy GT6.
But I doubt you’d even try that because you WANT to hate GT6, and you’re not afraid of telling others that they should hate it too.
You can’t see the forest for the trees buddy. You are entirely focused on the volume of cars and it blinds you to everything else. A high quality experience with 50 cars and 20 good laser scanned tracks is far better to me than a below average experience with 5000 cars and 500 tracks. Quality will always trump quantity IMO. Some people really enjoy the buffet, some of us prefer fine dining. Money is not an issue for me in any game, I spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on games over the years, what’s another $50 for additional content I’m going to enjoy for hundreds of hours? It’s peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
By the way, I shouldn’t have to say this, you should know better, but play the ball and not the man.
After reading endless posts of yours, your bias against GT is obvious to a blind man.
Your recent constant quote of ‘playing the ball not the man’ is stolen from another forumer.
So it’s perhaps time to drop it.
But, in your case, it does apply.
Your post history shows what’s known as trolling.
So I’m more than happy to ‘play the man.’
Everything you say isn’t ‘fact’.
It’s no more than ‘opinion’.
You are of course welcome to put forward that opinion.
From what I’ve seen on this website, those opinions are up for questioning.
In fact, from what I’ve seen from you, those posts are worth arguing against as if somehow someone’s opinion can be wrong, and needs correcting.
So if you continue to persist to hide behind the AUP as a defence for your trolling, you’re mistaken.
Consider that ignoring the ball btw.
Obviously you’ve been following me so you should know I don’t respond to personal attacks. Play the ball son, play the ball.
@Johnny I apologize. That last sentence was a bit harsh. I know not to let my emotions get the better of me like that.
@SS308 As Johnny says: play the ball, NOT the man. We’re here to have civil discussions. Personal attacks have no place here on GTP.
@Johnny Regardless, I think my point still stands. I usually finish a game (by which I mean, do everything in it I want to do) before I can even buy any DLC, and when I buy the DLC, I usually play with it for a few hours and then the game goes back onto the shelf. With a few exceptions (Skyrim, for instance), that’s been the case for every game I’ve owned. Personally I think it says something about GT6 that I haven’t yet experienced everything I want to in it despite the fact that it’s been in my PS3 more or less constantly for two years now, despite the fact that it hasn’t gotten any mentionable amount of DLC at all.
But then again, perhaps it’s because I’m old skool and expect developers to actually include everything they can on the disc and not purposely hold things back.
Probably just some little fixes. I wouldn’t get your hopes up a bit.
I thought this game was canceled? ;)
Why would you think that?
How do you think a game that’s been released is “cancelled”?
Probably because of the lack of new content makes it appear as if the game has been abandoned..just a guess though…lol.
Needs a good cleaning.
Let speculation begin.
Update coming in my birthday??!!. Oh s…. I’m not ready!!
Maybe. Of course it’s possible they’re just performing some backend maintenance to ensure online services are as stable as possible.
Happy birthday :P
Hopefully this update brings in some better news – bug fixes, server fixes…
“Ensure online services are as stable as possible”. You forgot the #sarcasm….lol
Lol those online services are never getting fixed and you know that.
I said “as stable as possible.” I didn’t say “completely stable” because I know as well as both of you do that a P2P-based online system is never going to be very stable. I’m not stupid. ._.
Maybe the Hyundai VGT and some network fixes-could definitely use the fixes on Course Maker lobbies.
Spooky.
