The developers of Gran Turismo 7 apologise for the grind and offer repairs and a million free credits

  • Approximately doubled rewards for “the events in the latter half of the world circuit”
  • “High rewards” for getting all gold and all bronze in the circuit experience
  • Increased rewards for online races
  • Eight new one-hour endurance race events in missions, which will have “higher reward settings
  • A higher cap on how many non-paid credits users could have, up to 100 million from 20 million
  • More used and legend cars being sold at a time

The post also outlines that will be coming in the “near-term” — though it doesn’t specify a date for these changes or more details. Those changes are:

  • Increased payout value of limited-time rewards
  • More additions to world circuit events
  • Endurance races are being added to missions, including 24-hour races
  • Online time trials are being added, with rewards being given “according to the player’s difference with the top-ranked time”
  • Players will be able to sell their cars

Given that Friday’s post refers to GT7 as a “live service,” it doesn’t appear as though we should be holding our breath for any changes that would make the game more offline-centric. Nonetheless, the improvements we’ve been promised are intriguing, both in terms of improving the game’s enjoyment and introducing new (though demanding) experiences.
