Gran Turismo 7’s update 1.29 may be the game’s most anticipated piece of post-launch DLC yet, rivalled only by the game’s prior revelation of PlayStation VR2 support. While the update includes Grand Valley and a strange assortment of automobiles ranging from Citroen DS21 to Italdesign EXENEO variations, the most significant new feature is the addition of GT Sophy. GT Sophy is a particular AI that specialises in racing, and its growth may potentially lead to significantly more intriguing behaviour in racing video games, as it is capable of self-learning and has already demonstrated that it is more than capable of beating professional sim racers in Gran Turismo.
Polyphony Digital and Sony collaborated to create GT Sophy, which was unveiled in early 2022. Previously, developers stated that Sophy was capable of playing competitively without cheating, which was done by employing several deep-learning models. Unfortunately, this version of GT Sophy will only be accessible for a limited time, only on PlayStation 5: users will be able to race against the AI in the special “Race Together” event, which will be available until late March.
