The Gran Turismo 7 September Update is out now across PS4 and PS5, with patch 1.23 bringing a trio of new cars, some new Spaces, new Menu Books and events. Keep reading for all the details and the patch notes.
Headlining this Gran Turismo 7 September update are a trio of new cars, with a pair of ambitious prototypes and a classic 90s luxury car. They are:
- Volkswagen ID.R ’19
- Nissan Silvia K’s Type S (S14) ’94
- Porsche Vision Gran Turismo Spyder
As with most GT7 updates, there’s also a set of new Menu Books and Extra Menus. There’s one new Menu Book called the Silvia Sisters, while a pair of Extra Menus focus on the collecting Corvettes and Mid-engine Porsche. These are complimented by a smattering of new events being added to the World Circuits menu.
Through the rest of the patch notes, Polyphony has focussed on fixing minor issues and edge cases – the Performance Points calculation has been modified to always use stock LSD and suspension settings, for example. Meanwhile, there’s also support for the new direct drive Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel and improved customisation and support for Fanatec wheels.
