Polyphony Digital’s latest entry to the franchise,Gran Turismo 7, has been slowly receiving post-launch hotfixes and content updates in roughly equal measure, with players getting access to some exciting new vehicles that hadn’t ever been featured in a video game before. Japanese car manufacturers, in particular, seem to have a good relationship with Polyphony, and the latest update features some of their latest models.
Specifically,Gran Turismo 7’s Update 1.13 features two entirely new vehicles that had never been featured in a video game before, as well as an oldGran Turismoclassic from Suzuki, bolstering the game’s already impressive vehicle roster even further. Alongside several new cars, a new racing layout for Spa-Francorchamps is now being made available too.

Update 1.13 is mostly in line withGran Turismo 7’s Update 1.11, in that it’s not overly ambitious in scope, with Polyphony Digital opting to slowly release extra content to keep players racing. It features the all-new Subaru BRZ-S 2021, the winner of 2021’s Super GT Championship Subaru BRZ GT300, and the classic Suzuki Cappuccino from 1991. The two standard vehicle models support the full extent ofGran Turismo 7’s customization system, while the GT300 car is a tad more limited in what players can do with it.
What’s particularly pertinent for competitive players is the fact that Update 1.13 introduces the full 24-hour Spa-Francorchamps racetrack layout, which had been featured in bits and pieces up until now. The full track layout will be perfect to race on forthe fastest cars inGran Turismo 7, as it features an exciting combination of long straight stretches of road, as well as plenty of opportunities to wave and bob through its turns.
GT7’s April 2022 update is just one of the manycontent releases outlined forGran Turismo 7. Polyphony Digital is sure to continue supporting the game with a wealth of content over a long period of time, and players have plenty more to look forward to over the course of the year.
What’s a bit more problematic than the amount and quality of the game’s content is the widespread notion thatGran Turismo 7has excessive microtransactions. The game enjoyed near-unanimous acclaim up until the microtransaction shop was enabled, after which the community was so angry about Polyphony Digital’s handling ofGT7that it got review-bombed. Excessive grind has been slightly alleviated since, but the issue yet remains.
Gran Turismo 7is currently available for purchase on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles.
