Stock or tuned? I probably need to buy another one if stock, but no worries.

GT Planet speculates:

The update, which looks to have skipped a version number from 1.52 to 1.54, will bring five new cars into the game for all players. We’re expecting them to be the much-requested Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Mercedes W196 Monoposto (and make sure you save up for that one!), a 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo, the Porsche Mission X Concept, and a new Suzuki Jimny variant probably based on the global “Sierra” body.

Other contents are unknown at this time, and although the very large download size might tempt players into thinking a new circuit or circuit location might be part of it, we’re tempering our own expectations to it simply being down to the PS5 Pro Enhanced patch.

It’s likely that the 32GB isn’t all-new data, as it represents almost a quarter of GT7’s current 136GB size on disc, so there’s probably some repackaging of the PS5 install going on. That would also explain why PS4 (and PS4 Pro) players don’t have access to the preload.

Either way, we’re not going to have to wait long to find out more if the usual timings hold out, so stay tuned over the next few hours!
 
Been playing the game since launch and this finally showed up in the store and I had enough credits.

Jfc, it took that long?

I’ve always used GT games as McLaren F1 simulators, and this makes me hesitant to pick up the game lol
But ya. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉

Solid update. Looking forward to those Porsche's. Though the Sophy additions are useless. Sophy isn't good.


Gonna be honest I was really curious when it came out....not expecting something like Iracing or rfactor 2 level of ia...but was expecting a bit more than actually is.

And yet the first 3 players that show up one shows up with a tomahawk, another with a GT3 car and the other with a VGT car.
