Gran Turismo 7 update 1.23 is now available, here are the patch notes
As revealed yesterday, the latest patch for Gran Turismo 7 is now available on PS5 and PS4. A trio of new vehicles headlines this update, of course, but there’s a whole host of other fixes and additions.
Nissan Silvia K’s Type S (S14) ’94, Porsche Vision Gran Turismo Spyder, and Volkswagen ID.R’19 can now be added to your garage. Additionally, a new menu book called The Silvia Sisters, as well as two additional menus, has been added. These can only be accessed after reaching the end of the game.
Two new Scapes have also been introduced, and a bunch of new events are now available in World Circuits. On top of that is a laundry list of other improvements, fixes and updates to make the experience just that little bit better. The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel is now supported, online connectivity has been improved, and many bugs have been squashed.
