Sonys Entwicklerstudio Polyphony Digital hatte versprochen, das Rennspiel Gran Turismo 7 nach dessen Launch mit zahlreichen Updates zu verbessern. Daran hält sich das Team, denn nun steht bereits der nächste Patch zum Download bereit. Die Version 1.06 bringt einige ebenso interessante wie wichtige Änderungen mit sich.
U.a. haben die Entwickler das Renn-Display um ein wichtiges Detail ergänzt: Ab sofort findet ihr dort eine Anzeige, die euch über die Richtung und Stärke des aktuellen Windes informiert. Dies ist eine mitunter durchaus relevante Information, die bei Nuancen im Rennen entscheidend werden kann. Des Weiteren erwarten euch insgesamt 64 neue Musikstücke, was für deutlich mehr akustische Abwechslung sorgen dürfte. Hinzu kommen zahlreiche Bugfixes, Optimierungen beim Wettersystem sowie die Beseitigung von nervigen „Progression Blocks“ und ähnlichen Fehlern.
Hier die vollständigen Patch Notes in der (englischen) Übersicht:

1. Race Display
- Added wind direction and wind speed indicators. An arrow (wind direction) and number (wind speed) will be displayed on the upper right of the screen under the Track Map.
