New cars, features, fixes and more are on the way to the legendary series' recently released PS4 entry.
It has been a few weeks since we launched GT Sport, and it’s been really exciting to see so many people take to the track. In fact, we’ve already seen over 26 million hours of gameplay around the world, so now we want to share with you our plan for what’s next with the game, including new cars and game features through Patch 1.06 in November, and the introduction of the “GT League” in December.
Patch 1.06 (Coming November 27th, 2017)
From November 27th we’ll begin rolling out new cars, and kicking off with these three free new cars.
In addition to the new cars, when the patch drops on November 27 you can also look forward to the Livery Editor, Scapes and Campaign modes becoming available to play offline (you will still require internet access to save your progress). There will also be various tweaks and adjustments to balance the gameplay.
GT League (Coming December 2017)
Launching as part of our free December update, we’ll be introducing a brand new single player mode called “GT League”. Based on the old “GT mode” of previous titles, players can now look forward to racing through a series of cup competitions from beginner to pro levels, and and even partake in endurance races!
Check out the screenshots below to get a sneak peek of what you can expect in December. We’ll be adding more races to these leagues in 2018.
New Cars: (Coming December 2017)
In addition, the following 12 cars will be added to the game in the free update of December 2017:
- Mazda — RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD)
- Nissan — Skyline GT-R V・spec II (R32)
- Nissan — Skyline GT-R V・spec II Nür (R34)
- Ford — F-150 SVT Raptor
- Lamborghini — Countach LP400
- Ferrari — F40
- Ferrari — Enzo Ferrari
- KTM — X-BOW R
- Suzuki — Swift Sport
- Volkswagen — Samba Bus Type 2 (T1)
- Chris Holstrom Concepts — 1967 Chevy Nova
- Chevrolet — Corvette Stingray Convertible (C3)
From now to March 2018, a total of approximately 50 cars are already planned for addition to the game. And the updates will continue beyond March! You can of course look forward to the addition of new tracks as well, so stay tuned!
Be sure to stay tuned to official GT and PlayStation channels as there are plenty more updates to come from the team. Until then, happy racing!
Awesome news! I would also like the ability to earn credits/experience in VR mode though (and more challenging AI in VR).
Yes. Great question. This game feels great in VR. I wish they would flesh it out.
I agree,VR really makes racing much more immersive.
Honestly these should have been features that where part of the game before it release.
I do not think that it will be possible to have more use of VR than that. Not even the PS4 Pro has enough power to do so because GTSport already requires a lot of resources. A Sony technician confirmed this to me at the Milan Games Week in September.
Agreed. Should have been there in the beginning. I think they could flesh it out if they dial back some graphical quality. The headset can’t display beyond 1080 or hdr anyways.
Its fine if VR cant support loads of cars and so on but it should at least be possible for custom races with various difficulties on the CPU, even if its just one CPU. Also add ordinary time trial and drift to VR, there is no reason why it shouldnt work or that it would take much effort or time to add it, VR for GT is amazing but there is no reason for it to be as limited as it is right now when everything is already there, just make it happen.
If resources are the issue, I recommend the use of ghost…even leader-board ghost; like in Driveclub Timetrial.
Oh, and 1v1 multiplayer.
100% agree… Custom AI difficulty in 1 on 1 races in VR would make me happy (+ earning experience and credits of course, because it is a little silly that I need to play on TV to unlock stuff in VR).
Currently the AI in VR is ridiculous – I’m far from being an expert driver, but all races in VR end as “time-trials” with opponent nowhere to be seen :-(
The only way I’ve found to make VR races a little more challenging was to “down-tune” my cars – but it is as stupid as it sounds :-)
More VR please.
As others have said,
-Let us earn currency and expereince in VR
-Add Time Trials
-Add Drift Trials
-Allow us to customize AI difficulty and number of laps
Those should be quick simple additions, and they would add massive value to the VR portion of the game. It would also be nice to see more times of day/conditions added over time as well.
I bought this game for the VR. I played enough to get to level 20 so I could play what is available. This is the future of racing, make sure we get it right.
Will B-Spec mode return? I loved being able to watch a race while giving instructions to the AI
Best news on GT so far, I do miss the old single player experience, where I had most of the fun, since I do not play GT competitively but to chill and have some fun. I do hope they will add new cars more often because I also miss car hoarding! Keep it up Polphony, and bring old beloved GT to the next gen!
Fantastic news! I hope that we are getting LaSarthe and a little more flexibility in the Livery Editor! #BestGameEver!!
need to expand the vr. i haven’t played in weeks. waiting for any update to the vr. definitely disappointed
How exactly are the updates going to work? Will they require codes?
I am asking this becasue I have a US PSN account but I bought a game in a different region! Meaning the codes won’t work!
Do you guys know if there will be paid expansions or some sort of paid dlc in the future or is it gonna be free updates from now on?
Completely agree with jumonkan. These features should have been available day one. I couldn’t have been more disappointed when I first got my preorder. Nice to see that Sony is righting the ship…
Wish they had the car tuning like in GT 5. It sucks that there’s almost nothing to tune outside of limited slip diffs and customizing your gear box and even then, half of the online races don’t even allow you to do tuning. I think it’s great they’re finally adding an offline campaign, should’ve been done before the game was released. But would love more than anything to see them add full tuning like GT 5. The GT mode and tuning is what made the game so special. Honestly, Polys has been kind of sad with GT since GT 5. For how great of a game that was, I think everyone had pretty high expectations moving forward.
The cars are not free. You still have to buy them in game.
Yes, VR-mode needs to be expanded urgently! VR-mode is sooo frustratingly limited!
Easy fixes:
– time trial (unlimited laps)
– drift trial
– leaderboards (maybe ghosts as well?)
– ability to set AI difficulty, so you can actually race another car, instead of passing it at the second corner and never seeing it again)
a bit more challenging, but in my opinion definitely possible:
– 1v1 online races
– expand VR-mode to driving school, mission challenges and circuit experience where possible: if not more than one or two cars are on track, it has to be possible to implement VR
It is beyond comprehension that Sony is now selling PSVR – GT Sport bundles, when this is really not a VR game AT ALL. A lot of people will be dispappointed and will blame the PSVR, but it is PD/Kaz who is too stubborn to realize this is the future. PSVR is amazing, look at DiRT Rally, RE7, Batllezone, Skyrim, … But I need a proper circuit racer too!
If nothing changes, I am, for the first time in my life, considering to switch to a gaming PC for PC2 and AC in VR (full games!!). I prefer not to, as I love GT, Sony, PS and PSVR!
