Gran Turismo 7's latest update is a substantial one, with improved Credit rewards and new race events taking the spotlight. Hopefully, the changes mean racers can purchase those million-Credit hypercars in a much timelier fashion.
Released today, surprisingly ahead of the weekly Sport Mode Daily Race reset, the latest Gran Turismo 7 update not only boosts Credit rewards for World Circuit and online Lobby and Sport races, it also introduces new events including hour-long Endurance races and a litany of tweaks and bug fixes.
