Polyphony Digital will give us an early Christmas present next week, in the shape of a brand new GT Sport game update — the third in four weeks. However, unlike the bug fix update from earlier in the month, this one is set to bring us plenty of new content.

The latest update for Need for Speed Heat has arrived, and answered one of the biggest questions from fans.

The anniversaries are coming thick and fast right now. PlayStation itself racked up a quarter century earlier in the month, but today is a rather special anniversary indeed — particularly for us here at GTPlanet. Gran Turismo 2 celebrates its 20th birthday today.

It’s almost a Christmas tradition now. In the family downtime during the holidays, someone busts out the board games and a perfectly civil evening becomes a blazing row over landing on a hotel or going to jail. Yes, it’s the Christmas Monopoly argument, during which marriages are broken and in-laws become outlaws.

March 2019 doesn’t seem all that long ago. That was when Kazunori Yamauchi took to the stage in Paris, adjacent to the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile headquarters itself, to reveal the plans for the 2019 FIA season.

A new GT Sport update will be greeting players as they turn on their consoles today. Coming in at 159.9MB in size, it’s not the chunkiest update we’ve seen, and there’s good reason for that.

The phrase “it’s like a race car for the road” is a little overused these days, but in the case of McLaren’s new 620R it’s about as close to the truth as you can get.

This week’s GT Sport Daily Races will see you take a grand tour of some of the game’s real-world circuits — and some of those added to the game since launch.

There’s another new GT Sport update coming along this week, barely two weeks on from the previous one. However, whereas v1.50 was packed to the gills with goodies, this update looks to be a little more routine.

Champions of motorsport from across the world will gather tonight at The Louvre in Paris in a celebration of the sport in all its forms. The Federation International de l’Automobile (FIA) will honor everyone who has won an FIA-certified event in any discipline, in its annual Prize-Giving ceremony.

The 2019 F1 Esports New Balance Pro Series finals took place in London earlier in the week. After a pretty tight battle, Italy’s David Tonizza took the title driving for the debutant Ferrari team.

This week’s GT Sport Time Trials are somewhat of a change from the previous fortnight. You’ll be tackling a very small track in a very small car (well, by modern standards), and something much faster somewhere much faster.

The next 12 months is likely to be one long tease for gamers on both sides of the mainstream console wall. Both Sony and Microsoft are getting ready to launch their next-gen consoles around this time next year, to ignite another round of console wars.

2018 GT Sport Nations Cup champion Igor Fraga is continuing his real-world motorsports development. To start the 2020 season, he’s heading down to New Zealand to race in the Toyota Racing Series.

The F1 Esports New Balance Pro Series reaches its climax this evening, and for the first time in three years there’ll be a new champion lifting the trophy.

If you’re one of the huge numbers of new GT Sport players who’ve been experiencing issues with the game recently, there’s some good news and bad news for you.

It’s tough to believe it, but as of today the Sony PlayStation has been around for an incredible quarter of a century.

We’d never really considered the Bugatti Chiron to be anything other than a pretty special car. However, it turns out that it’s not quite special enough for Molsheim, which has announced another special edition of the world’s fastest production car (with qualifiers).

There’s a familiar feel to this week’s Daily Races, even though one features some new content.

Plenty of gamers are taking advantage of Black Friday sales right now. There’s few better opportunities to pick up a bargain new PlayStation 4, discounted copy of GT Sport, and cheap PS Plus subscription.
