New Gran Turismo 7 Update Begins To Fix Credits And Rewards Issues

Gran Turismo 7 marked another major entry in the well-known simulation racing franchise. After some time players realized that GT7 cars cost more in-game credit than other games. 

Players were also frustrated by the Polyphony Digital’s decisions after the update which reduced the rewards and credits earned for certain races put the game offline longer than 24 hours. So much so that Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi published an apology that contained promises to fix the game’s economy in regards to credits, rewards, and more. The fixes would be available in April, according to Yamauchi. It seems the update has now been released.
