For all the chatter about Sony’s failed live service initiative, Gran Turismo 7’s post-release support has been nothing short of superb. A new free update launches this week with three additional cars and some other bells and whistles for franchise fans.

But first, let’s get to when you can expect to enjoy it:

  • North America: 10pm (Wed) PST / 11pm (Wed) MST / 12am CST / 1am EST
  • UK/Ire: 6am GMT
  • Europe: 7am CET / 8am EET
  • Asia/Oceania: 3pm JST / 2pm AWST / 5pm AEDT

Please note, the update will be available at the aforementioned times on 26th February on the US West Coast and 27th February everywhere else.

So, what can you expect?

Well, just three cars this time, but they’re fun ones: the BMW Z4 3.0i ’03, Mercedes-Benz Unimog Type 411 ’62, and Peugeot 205 GTI ’88. You’ll be able to purchase all three from various dealerships within the game. Personally, we want that Peugeot badly.

And if you’re a fan of Peugeots by the way, a new Menu will be added to the single player GT Café mode which will celebrate the various vehicles manufactured by the French firm.

Other additions include the expansion of Polyphony Digital’s innovative AI racer GT Sophy to even more tracks, as well as some new events to test yourself against in the World Circuits mode.

There’s lots to enjoy here, then, and remember it’s all free for everyone who owns the game. This is certainly the kind of live service we can get behind!
