Gran Turismo 7 receives substantial content update on PS5 with new cars and tracks, emphasizing the game's ongoing evolution and player engagement.
The highlight of today’s PlayStation news is the release of the Gran Turismo 7 update 1.71, a substantial free expansion that bolsters the game with new cars and tracks. As reported by PlayStation Lifestyle and PushSquare, this update introduces four new cars, each catering to different driving experiences: Street Icon, Sleeper Pick, Pure Driver, and Next Gen Performance. Alongside these cars, the update adds three new World Circuits, enhancing the gameplay diversity for fans of this revered racing series.
The update marks the continuation of four years of support for Gran Turismo 7 since its original release, exemplifying the sustained commitment to expand the game post-launch. According to the PlayStation Blog, the newly added circuits and cars aim to satisfy various player preferences, pushing the game’s realism and player engagement further.
Meanwhile, news of the award-winning 2021 PS5 action game, Judgment, being available for under $10 as a time-limited deal might be intriguing for bargain hunters. As seen on PlayStation Lifestyle, this is a good opportunity for players who haven’t yet explored this narrative-driven game from Sega’s Yakuza team.
Beyond these updates, PlayStation Lifestyle reports on the upcoming PS5 release of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, a zombie survival game previously on early access on Steam. Set for March 2027, the console release will coincide with its official exit from early access, bringing its verified gameplay experience to a broader platform audience.
In other news, the future of the Horizon series remains in early conceptual stages, with the next single-player game years away from release. A “tiny team” at Guerrilla Games is currently focusing on this development, as noted by PushSquare. This is further compounded by critical commentary from the same outlet regarding leadership at PS Studios, specifically Hermen Hulst’s role, albeit this reflects editorial opinion rather than definitive industry shifts.
Finally, PlayStation Blog offers insights into the atmospheric design challenges of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, a game drawing on intense horror experiences, though details remain sparse beyond the thematic exploration.
