Gran Turismo 7 update will greatly boost rewards after player backlash

techradar.com:

The next big Gran Turismo 7 update is bringing some much-needed changes to the PS5 sim racer after intense player backlash. Chief among these changes will be a significant boost to in-game Credit rewards across most of the game's content, as well as a wide range of new races to experience.

Gran Turismo 7 creator Kazunori Yamauchi took to the official PlayStation blog to announce the update, which will land in early April. Yamauchi notes that he understands players weren't happy with the last update, which significantly reduced Credit rewards and brought with it a maintenance period of around two whole days. The previous update also made completing license tests and missions almost impossible, but this has thankfully been addressed.

«To improve the player experience,» Yamauchi wrote, «we will be rolling out a considerable patch in the beginning of April.  The number of events will be increased, and we will re-establish the reward system with greater balance throughout the game to benefit all players.»

Additionally, GT7 players on both PS5 and PS4 will shortly receive an in-game reward of one million credits. That reward is obtainable for all players, so long as they log into GT7 before April 25, and is enough to buy many of the best cars available in the entirety of the Gran Turismo 7 car list.

This major update, coming sometime in early April, will make the following changes to the game according to the official PlayStation blog post:

In addition, Yamauchi-san announced that several «near-term» updates are coming to Gran Turismo 7. These include more World Circuit events, online time trials, the addition of Endurance races to Mission mode, the ability to sell your cars, and an overall bump to online race rewards for
