Gran Turismo 7 update brings new vehicles, events and SophyAI 2.1

Polyphony Digital has kept Gran Turismo 7 fresh and interesting thanks to a solid number of consistent updates, bringing new cars; tracks; physics; features and more. The latest update – Patch 1.57 – brings with it some of the usual additions, as well as enhancements to the game’s SophyAI rival.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, SIE Senior Product Manager Ken Chan wrote, “Gran Turismo players! Update 1.57 for Gran Turismo 7 available as of Wednesday, March 26 at 10:00pm PT / March 27 at 5:00am GMT / 2:00pm JST.”

A mostly standard update for Gran Turismo 7 (with one exception), patch 1.57 brings with it:

  • Aston Martin Vintage ‘18
  • Mazda CX-30 X Smart Edition ‘21
  • Renault Kangoo 1.4 ‘01
  • Cafe menu additions
  • 3 new World Circuit events
  • ‘The Faroe Islands’ Scape

Last but certainly not least, this update brings with it a new version of the company’s advanced SophyAI driver.

Pitched as a more realistic take on how it would feel to race a real-world driver (with dynamic reactions and more), version 2.1 expands the functionality to custom races – letting you go up against Sophy across many more instances.

Hopefully this feature will only continue to improve and expand to more of the game over time. Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.57 is available now. The full list of changes and additions can be found HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
