As is so often the case with games these days, when Gran Turismo 7 hits the starting line tomorrow, the content included will merely reflect the release’s first lap. We’ve already pointed out in our Gran Turismo 7 PS5 review that this is the biggest, most personal simulation racer from Polyphony Digital to date – but it’ll spend the foreseeable future adding even more content to the title.
Teasing just that on its official website, the legendary Japanese developer posted a list of the things you can expect, which includes cars and courses, of course – and plenty more:
- New courses
- New cars
- New World Circuits events
- More Mission races
- More Music Rally songs
- More engine parts to swap
- New Lobby features
- New Time Trials for Sport mode
- Improvements to the penalty algorithm and overall quality of online races
The studio closed its message with an exciting statement: “We hope you will look forward to the ever-evolving Gran Turismo 7!” Many of the updates for Gran Turismo Sport were free, and we expect a fairly similar commitment here, although the developer’s yet to explicitly commit to that.
What kind of content would you like to see added to Gran Turismo 7 as the racer matures? Let us know in the comments section below.

Maybe it's just me but I was excited every time a new content update was to be released for GT Sport. Just guys speculating on what it could be, what cars might be included gave me something more than just racing to look forward to. I'm happy GT7 is following the same path 🙂 not long to go now!
Less than 12 hours to go, can't wait. I do wish they could have provided us with a 1440p60 + RT option, ala Insomniac. But, can't complain that by many accounts, this is a highly polished game at launch and I would never take 4k60 for granted.
@gollumb82 Yeah I liked the car silhouettes they used to do. My nephew was amazing at guessing them cos he knows his cars.
5 hours 22mins and counting. Im gonna rag those used cars around like f'!
This game is going to take up most of the PS5's SSD or certainly a large chunk of it.
PSVR2 support, ‘nuff said !
i think i've already put 10-12hrs into the game
Can’t wait to jump in tomorrow. The hype is real.
Well, that’s annoying. I’ll now not feel like I’m getting full value unless I wait until all/most free content has been released. Otherwise I’ll finish the campaign, do all the trophy challenges, then just get rid of the game or lose interest over time…
Unless they announce PSVR compatibility , then I’ll play forever.
@thefourfoldroot Why? This content is being developed and added after release. You're getting a full game at launch that they're going to add to and expand.
Dynamic weather on all the tracks would be my biggest request.
Yeah full of microtransactions and pay to win, just like Rockstar with it's shark cards 🙄🙄
@get2sammyb
Exactly that. Might be stupid, but I don’t want to wait around for full content once I’ve moved on from the game. It’s a general issue with DLC for me if I get a game at release. If I’m deep into Yakuza 8 I’ll have little interest in a new car or track. My only issue is now I feel like I have to wait to buy it so I can experience everything together. I realise I might be an outlier as others play multiple games at once or can come back years later and still be in the same mind space.
@huyi honestly its not really that difficult to make money in the game.
The way Polyphony does live service is pretty great. You can get tired of the game and go back a couple of months later to new surprises. I haven't paid a dime beyond price of the game for Sport and been playing it off and on since release.
@twitchtvpat just like gran turismo sport? 👂I guess not
I bought Dying Light 2 because I was bored, succumbed to the reviews of Horizon FW and put off Elden Ring because I still have Sekiro on the back burner and FromS games always need some jank ironed out. GT7 is filling a void in my gaming life that takes me back, heap on the nostalgia. Not been this excited for a release since Cyberpunk. Reviews are giving me confidence I can trust this is just going to be what I need right now.
@huyi i've been playing since Tuesday night and maybe have gotten at least 250k so far. if i played more i prob would have more then that.
@gollumb82 yeah the regular content updates are perfect for racing games. I’ve loved playing the last 2 Horizon games because of the constant updates. Now I get to do this on both consoles!
@thefourfoldroot except content updates , ect are the main reasons why you go back to a game later on in the first place
@twitchtvpat how are you finding it brother?
@twitchtvpat
Not if it’s a few cars or tracks. Hell, not even full story content. Got rid of Witcher 3 and Zero Dawn long before the DLC released. I’d rather play a full game than go back to a game I’ve mostly forgotten and be expected to pick up the thread for a tiny piece of extra content.
@Kidfunkadelic83 trying to get used to playing a more realistic driving game again lol , hard but still pretty fun once i knock some of the rust off. i think it would be more fun if i was playing with a wheel though.
Can I just say that you adding that artificial "PS5, PS4" to every single headline you ever publish for SEO-reasons even tho you are literally a playstation-only-site is just SO aggrevating to me, it's not even funny anymore. I get that you need to eat but jesus ***** christ there has to be a better way
The biggest thing they needed at launch for GT7 was a minimum of 5 weekly races as opposed to 3 for sport mode.
They call then dailies, but they traditionally rotate weekly, so unless theyve actually swapped then to daily rotations (which would be ridiculous giving people no time to acclimatise to the combo & set good times)...then it'll be the same stale situation as GT Sport.
Plus with the addition of tuning in sport mode & the crazy variation that adds... They definitely could've thrown in two extra "no tuning, BoP" races

GTS was pretty well catered for with updates and cars so this isn't really a big surprise. I do sincerely hope that we get Tokyo R246 and Apricot Hill soon. I still fire up my PS3 just to do a few laps of those gems... 👍🏻 As for cars, I haven't really had a good look at what's included initially, but I'm sure there are a couple of classics that will show up eventually... I'm just happy there doesn't seem to be any grindy trophies such as GTS' level 50...
HAPPY GT7 DAY EVERYONE!!
@WildFireX
“Not to mention they make adjustments to how things work, & bring in tournaments for sport mode every few months“
Don’t get me started on live service games! Lol
I’ll ignore all your insults as the world’s got enough negativity already.
Just to say though, unfortunately, I’m no kid. Been playing GT since it’s first incarnation, and of course it’ll be easy (well, getting top on some of the licenses used to have me pulling my hair out, but back then I actually was a kid).

@WildFireX
What’s with all the insults 🤷♂️ I really don’t care if someone calls me bad at games, maybe I am, who knows? who cares? And I don’t see what that has to do with DLC?
I’ll be getting this and loving it. But I haven’t played a GT since the PS2 (mainly had a 360 a couple of gens ago, and didn’t care for the online focus of GT Sport). So yeah, for all I know I could have forgotten how to play racing games since Drivevlub and Dirt 5, which is all I’ve played in the genre for a while.
@WildFireX Jesus christ the neckbeard arrogance in you.
Sat with this for a few hours this morning, quite like the Music Rally, quite a fun feature. Otherwise just done my B license and done a couple of GT Cafe menus.
Will tear into it proper later today but from what I played, it's good fun and took me back to the GT of old.
I'd like to see some newer cars tbh. There's not really anything in there from the last 5 or 6 years
Another midnight lunch Premiere feeling Sony game. That’s twice now with Horizon 2 and GT7, I think I’m getting spoilt 😋with all this quality 😍
I love the new Sony PlayStation studio logo, it screams quality and gives you goose bumps.
Had a couple of hours on it last night and went well past my bed time. It really sucked me in. I really enjoyed the music rally beat start, really mesmerising 😍😍 Plus Push squares review was spot on so far 😉
Loving gaming at the minute. 🥳🥳
