Anyone that’s lucky enough to have snared a copy of Gran Turismo 5 before its official release date of – yes – tomorrow, would have no doubt been slightly confused as to the lack of any semblance of an online mode and lots of error messages saying that whatever you’re trying to do can’t be done with ‘this version of the game’.
Well, that’s because the version on the disk doesn’t have an online portion at all, until now. This morning the much anticipated (at least amongst those of us trying to write up some kind of ‘review’) patch was released, which takes GT5 up to version 1.01 and adds lots of new features mainly revolving around the internet community.
So, when you get your game tomorrow look out for a more in your face install pop-up, the ability to trade car cards with friends, a comprehensive (and highly collectable) meta game in the form of the Museum and the option to create lobbies. Oh, and of course, the chance to take the racing simulation online rather than just battling the AI.
If you want to know what we think of Gran Turismo 5 be here tomorrow, at 8am…

Servers are not yet up and running apparently.
Don’t forget, you are playing a game 1 day before it’s official release date.
