U-turn.
Since it came out at the beginning of March,Gran Turismo 7hasn’t had the smoothest of rides - thanks, in no small part, to its implementation of some pretty grim microtransactions tied in with a protracted grind for in-game credits as well as server outages which rendered the game’s single player campaign unplayable.
After a half-hearted apology that asked players to take a longer-term view,Polyphony Digital has seen sense to deliver a more fulsome response, gifting players with a million in-game credits and outlining the near-term updates for Gran Turismo 7 that will address the problems.
A new update is promised in early April that will make greater moves to improve the in-game economy, as detailed below:
“We want to thank you for your continued patience and valuable feedback as we grow and evolve GT7 to make it as enjoyable and rewarding for as many players as possible,” wrote series creator Kazunori Yamauchi as he wrapped up the update post.
“We always want to keep communication lines open with our community so that we can work together to build the best racing experience possible.”
Gran Turismo 7 launched earlier this year, reintroducing a proper campaign after its absence in the online-focussed GT Sport - and despite its troubles and the frustrations that can come withan always online single player campaign, it’s a fantastic and full-blooded return for the series.
