Get ready to rev your engines, racing fans! As we approach the 30th anniversary of the original Gran Turismo in 2027, Polyphony Digital is preparing a monumental free Spec IV update for Gran Turismo 7 to celebrate with players worldwide. Due to the sheer volume of content packed into this update, it will be rolled out in two parts, with the first wave arriving in October and the second hitting in December.
What’s Coming in Spec IV?
Players can look forward to a wealth of new additions across these two updates, including fresh circuits and cars, innovative ways to compete, and features designed to make the world of Gran Turismo more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Let’s dive into the details!
The first wave of content will feature two exciting tracks: Sportsland SUGO in Japan, known for its elevation changes and iconic Dunlop bridge, arriving in October. The second track is Autumn Ring, a circuit steeped in Gran Turismo history, making its debut in the original title. Polyphony Digital is thrilled to bring this beloved track into Gran Turismo 7, allowing millions of players to experience it for the first time.
A total of 12 new cars will be added across both Spec IV updates. While the full list remains under wraps for now, expect a diverse selection to cater to all tastes and driving styles.
New Ways to Drive and Compete
Spec IV isn’t just about new content; it also introduces a suite of innovative gameplay features. Online Drift Trials will challenge drivers to master their control, precision, and style in the art of drifting. Shuffle Races offer randomized conditions for online races, forcing players to adapt their strategies on the fly. Additional features include new Driving Experiences, an expanded Car Viewer, fresh progression elements, and a helpful Concierge feature designed to simplify car buying.
Family Mode: Racing for Everyone
The December update will also introduce Family Mode, a brand-new way to make Gran Turismo 7 more accessible and enjoyable when playing with family and friends. Designed as a welcoming starting point for players of all skill levels, Family Mode aims to share the fun of cars and driving with everyone. It also promises something fresh and exciting even for seasoned Gran Turismo 7 veterans.
Polyphony Digital is committed to making Gran Turismo 7 a truly inclusive and engaging racing experience for all. With the upcoming Spec IV update, they’ve delivered a wealth of new content and features that promise to keep players hooked for years to come.
