For every update released, there is the potential for changes not listed in the initial patch notes. Please report any undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.


1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible, either through videos or images.
2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.


THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE OFFICIAL CHANGES Only any changes not listed on the official site are discussed here
THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF THE UPDATE or anything else other than undocumented changes in the update. Keep those strictly to the appropriate threads:

They fixed the wheel in the 296 GT3. Have not had the time to try it in VR to see if they have fixed the monitor (and the mirrors in the Porsche) as well.
 
Well, looks like we could have the most important undocumented change:


Ps5 Pro users, please go verify! (I'll be home in a couple of hours 😅)

The old & new comparison shots look pretty much identical to me (barring some lighting due to the slightly different weather) so I think it's just placebo wishful thinking.

From what Digital Foundry have said about the upgraded PSSR in the new ResEvil and other games it is a massive improvement and will be immediately obvious. There won't be a need to check tiny details. That's why I don't think it has been implemented yet.

I don't have a way to check right now, but there is a quick test: enabling PSSR and see if the shimmering on the rims is still there. Can anyone do that?
 
The Michelin signage at Sardegna has been updated to Dunlop. A bunch of signs have also been updated to Gazoo Racing, but I don't remember what they used to be.
Took them a while :lol: I did Race B last night and wondered why this PD-original track still has very obvious Michelin branding.
 
I don't know if the recommended car showing up on the main event category page is new this patch, or I just haven't noticed it until now. Prevously I always would just click the "i" button to see the recommended car after pulling up the specific race. I just noticed when you click each category the recommended car is shown and it is the same car recommended for all the races under that category. Like the Supra GT500 97 is recommended for all the Neo-Classic races for example. ClubmanCup Plus is the only one that doesn't have a recommendation due to the PP range is from 350PP-720PP.

That's been there for a while. Not sure if since day 1 but going back to when I first played in July 2024, its been there.

This is exactly what I am hoping is fixed. I have ray tracing and PSSR off because as far as I can see, the game looks worse with it on. Especially when you pair it with the frame rate hit.
 
Well, I checked: no more pixellated water/snow clouds, no more shimmering rims, 120 hz smooth as silk in quality mode, image quality sharp as ever.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or PSSR 2. 0 is real in GT7?

Here are a few things I’ve noticed, but I could be wrong…

1. Nordschleife has some new sponsorship boards throughout the track.

2. Power Pack now has names for it’s differently coloured segments in the main menu: American, European, Japanese, Nurburgring, Historic, and Tuning.

I don’t think it was noted but they changed the line design in the power pack (we can see it clearly on the quoted post)
 
The progression lines do look bolder to mark a completed branch. Nice touch.
I don’t think it is when the branch is completed cause I didn’t finish the power pack yet (I know I’m slow) and it is bolder. When I opened it today I noticed something different but couldn’t quite but my finger on it… then the side by side here made it obvious…
