Polyphony Digital is not expanding with the 1.29 update of the game with PlayStation VR2 support: the February update also brings other new content.

Check out the franchise’s website to find out what the 1.29 update brings. Five cars are coming (Citroën DS 21 Pallas ’70, Honda RA272 ’65, Italdesign EXENEO Vision Gran Turismo Street Mode, Italdesign EXENEO Vision Gran Turismo Off-road Mode, Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) ’73), the Grand Valley Highway 1 track (5099 meters long, 97 meters of elevation change, 18 corners and the longest straight is 995 meters long), which has been given a new look in Gran Turismo 7, and the South configuration, which is only two kilometers long, offers even more elevation change.

“Drift Photography is a new feature with a complete tutorial. The tutorial will be available the first time you play after the update and will guide you through the steps for taking professional-level drift photos. Follow the on-screen advice and have fun capturing images of cars as they slide gracefully sideways. Gran Turismo 7 will fully support PlayStation VR2 (only on PlayStation 5). In addition to being able to experience all events (including online races) and game modes (except 2P Split Screen) with unprecedented realism, players will gain access to the PlayStation VR2 exclusive “VR Showroom,” where they can examine super high-definition car models in a variety of environments and lighting conditions. The game fully utilizes the next-generation capabilities of PlayStation VR2. Using optimized HDR tone mapping, eye-tracked foveated rendering—a technology that renders areas of the screen where the player is directly looking at in high definition—and dynamic 3D audio support, players will be treated to the most immersive gameplay yet.

Race Together is a limited-time event available until late March (exclusive to the PlayStation 5 version). Here, players of all skill levels can experience racing against Gran Turismo Sophy, an AI racing agent developed in collaboration with Sony AI, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Polyphony Digital. This game mode can be accessed from the banner at the top right of the World Map during the event period. Please note that the feature is available only on the PlayStation 5 console version of the game and is unlocked after reaching Collector Level 6. Race Together will match players against Gran Turismo Sophy agents in races of different difficulty levels on four different tracks, or players can choose to go one-on-one with Gran Turismo Sophy in an equal-conditions race. Experience wheel-to-wheel racing action like never before. As the race unfolds, Gran Turismo Sophy will also express itself to the player with emoticons,” the site says.

The Gran Turismo 7 update has also received three videos (alongside the tutorial, you can see cars from Italdesign and Gran Turismo Sophy).
