As a longtime racing enthusiast and Gran Turismo fanatic since the days of the original PlayStation, I can honestly say that the latest update for Gran Turismo 7 has me more excited than ever! The addition of three new Japanese sports cars, including the iconic Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR GSR ’04, is just the cherry on top of the impressive content updates we’ve seen so far.

Get ready, because update 1.52 for Gran Turismo 7 is almost here! This upcoming patch brings a host of fresh elements to the racing game, including three brand-new Japanese vehicles that will now be available in the game. Additionally, you’ll find new events for World Circuits and various other enhancements.

Initially, the release of Gran Turismo 7 faced a rocky start due to server problems and a later disclosure of microtransactions, following the publication of reviews. However, since 2022, Polyphony Digital has been regularly rolling out nearly monthly free updates, enriching the game with fresh content like cars, events, tracks, and user-friendly enhancements. Typically, updates for Gran Turismo 7 introduce new vehicles into the game, while some also incorporate circuits, such as the Eiger Nordwand circuit, which was previously featured in Gran Turismo 6.

Update 1.52 for Gran Turismo 7 rolls out today for PS5 and PS4 at 11:00 PM PST, and will add three new Japanese sports cars, including the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR GSR ’04, Nissan GT-R Premium edition T-spec ’24, and the white Toyota Hiace Van DX ’16. With this latest update, the racing game will have a total of 517 cars to choose from, an incredible feat when considering the effort required to produce new cars for Gran Turismo 7. Of these, three cars are special editions in the game.

Beyond the new vehicles, this update introduces exciting World Circuits events: the Tokyo Expressway hosts the Sunday Cup, the Circuit de Sainte-Croix welcomes the Nissan GT-R Cup, the Kyoto Driving Park, Autodromo Nazionale Monza, and Colorado Springs circuits all feature the Evolution Meeting. For enthusiasts of Gran Turismo 7 at collector level 42 or above, a new menu item, the Audi Collection, will be available. Additionally, the AI agent Gran Turismo Sophy can now be found racing in the Brands Hatch – Grand Prix Circuit and Dragon Trail – Seaside tracks, while Chicago takes center stage in Scapes’ curated collection.

Polyphony Digital has been fantastic in supporting the game Gran Turismo 7, but it’s the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro that could significantly enhance the game’s graphics and performance. After its announcement, Sony revealed a list of games receiving technical improvements on the PS5 Pro, with potential boosts to FPS, graphics, or both. Among these games is Gran Turismo 7, which will allegedly feature 8K graphics in fidelity mode or 60 frames per second with ray-traced reflections during gameplay – presumably in performance mode.

On November 7, the PS5 Pro is set to be launched. After that, gamers will get a chance to determine if Sony lives up to its commitment of improving the graphics of Gran Turismo 7, without affecting performance or whether it truly offers the iconic 8K resolution.
