Gran Turismo 7: one million free credits, you can sell the car

Polyphony Digital has announced a number of exceptional measures to address player complaints about excessive grinding required to accumulate currency in Gran Turismo 7. The game had been at the center of a ‘review bombing’ on Metacritic by players because an already problematic aspect in the starting title, namely the acquisition of money, had been further exacerbated following a recent patch. A review bombing that had made GT7 the PlayStation product with the lowest average user reviews ever on the well-known aggregator.

One million free credits –

“Your voices have not gone unheard. I would like to apologize for the frustration and confusion caused last week with our updates which led not only to a server problem but also adjustments to the in-game economy that were made without a clear explanation to our community “, yes reads in a post on PlayStation Blog by Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Gran Turismo and president of the Japanese studio. The first measure will be the attribution of 1 million game credits for anyone who purchases Gran Turismo 7 before today and logs in between March 25 and April 25 at 09:00. But a structural update will follow in “early April” that will fundamentally change the way the game distributes credits.

The Gran Turismo 7 of the future –

The measures coming in April will include:

• rewards greater than about 100% on average in events in the second half of the campaign
• high rewards for completing Circuit Experiences in all Gold / Bronze
• higher rewards for online events
• eight Endurance in missions with higher reward settings
• the player’s wallet can reach 100 million credits (+80 million compared to the current 20 million)
• more used and Legendary cars for sale

“Additional patches distributed between now and the end of April will add new cars and tracks, and bring some other corrections,” adds Yamauchi, before moving on to “some of the short-term updates we are working on. We can’t confirm an exact date or specifics for now, “but these include more rewards for limited-time events, more single-player events, Endurance races (including 24-hour races) in Missions, online timed challenges, and most importantly , the ability to sell carsone of the shortcomings of the current game.
