A new update for Grand Tourism 7 has been posted today, pupcing the Title PlayStation 5, PS4 to version 1.07 and bringing many minor adjustments as well as the introduction of the mode of diffusion. However, a certain note of updating already arouses controversy within the race simulator community, because it has become clear that a selection of races have seen their rewards in reduced appropriations. The official website of Gran Turismo describes the change as an adjustment of “rewards for events inside the ‘World Circuits’ depending on the driving time and difficulty”.

Of course, the complaints surrounding the approach of the game of boiling microtransactions already after its launch, the decision to reduce credit rewards has been considered as a way to push real purchases to customers. While two events have actually seen their earnings after the race increase dramatically, 16 others saw their gains reduced by half or more.

The DISCOR DDM user shared price changes in their entirety (via VGC), and we have translated this information into the table you see below.

The criticism of the approach started the day of the exit of Gran Turismo 7, on March 4, 2022, when a range of microtransactions has been put online parallel to the game. Currently, on the Boutique PS , you can buy up to 2,000,000 credits for $ 15.99 £ / 19.99. Then there are other options like 250,000 credits for $ 3.99 / $ 4.99 and 750,000 credits at $ 7.99 / $ 9.99.

However, the reduction in the number of credits rewarded on several events could change this and encourage more players to consider yielding to microtransactions.
