Gran Turismo 7

One of the biggest items in the v1.29 update for Gran Turismo 7 is the reappearance of the famous Grand Valley circuit after a little over five years away.

Barely 24 hours after it arrived in the game and was added to the GT World Series Exhibition Season 3 schedule, the new Grand Valley circuit has been taken off the calendar due to a glitch.

The most significant update in the 12-month life of Gran Turismo 7 is now available, with v1.29 bringing some revolutionary features and plenty of new content that includes an old friend of the series.

The official PlayStation Japan YouTube channel posted a new video early this morning, showing off new footage of Gran Turismo 7 running on the PlayStation VR 2 headset. It offers the best look yet at GT7’s VR Showroom mode, which allows players to explore both the exteriors and interiors of all the game’s cars in a 3D environment.

Legendary original circuit Grand Valley will return to the Gran Turismo series this week, with the course included in the already huge v1.29 update, due February 21.

Gran Turismo 7’s February 2023 update includes the public debut of GT Sophy: a new artificial intelligence that you can compete against in a free “Race Together” special event.

A new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now available, with the rally stages getting a rare outing among the offering for the next seven days.

As we already knew, Gran Turismo 7’s v1.29 update will be arriving on February 21 and bring along PlayStation VR2 support for the title (on PS5). However GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has now confirmed that it will bring other content — as expected — and promises it will be a “big” update.

Update (February 22): After the new Grand Valley circuit briefly appeared on the calendar, it has been replaced in both opening rounds following some issues. These changes are reflected below.

The latest set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races is now available, with three new races taking place every 20-30 minutes schedules over the coming week.

A post on the official Gran Turismo game website has confirmed what we pretty much expected: the next Gran Turismo 7 update will land on Tuesday, February 21.

The Gran Turismo series has had a lot of milestones over its 25-year history, but the anticipation surrounding Gran Turismo 7’s free launch-day support for PSVR 2 is reaching hype levels not seen in quite some time, if ever. Kazunori Yamauchi feels it, too.

After a break in real-world racing following the controversial events at the end of the 2020 FIA Formula 3 championship, Igor Fraga will be returning to action this season in Japan’s major national racing series.

A new week means a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three races running on their usual 20-30 minute schedules for the next seven days.

After I had the opportunity to be one of the first people to play Gran Turismo 7 with PSVR 2 last week, I also had the chance to speak with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi for a one-on-one interview to discuss the new hardware.

I just got back from a trip to PlayStation’s North American headquarters where I had the chance to be one of the first people to play Gran Turismo 7 on the PSVR2, and I’m here to tell you all about it.
