Gran Turismo 7 fans were surprised to see December come and go without the usual monthly update. However, fear not, gearheads! Update 1.42 is still on track for January, though it might not arrive as early as some hoped.
Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.42 Release Date
Polyphony, the developer behind Gran Turismo 7, has yet to confirm the release date for update 1.42. Drawing on past trends, it is reasonable to assume a late January release, potentially on Thursday, January 25. However, with the specter of Gran Turismo 8 on the horizon, there are murmurs that the monthly update tradition might be disrupted in 2024, signaling a shift in focus for Polyphony.
What to Expect?
Update 1.42 still promises to pack a punch, even if it’s a bit smaller than its predecessor, Spec II. The most exciting addition is undoubtedly the stunning Genesis Vision GT concept car. This sleek beast, boasting a powerful electrified V6 engine, is confirmed to be hitting the virtual tarmac in January, most likely as part of 1.42.
More car reveals are expected soon, possibly through a car silhouette teaser image on X (formerly Twitter) by the weekend before the update drops. Alongside new vehicles, we can anticipate fresh World Circuit races and GT Café Menus to spice up the single-player campaign.
While a new track like Spec II’s Lake Louise might be unlikely for 1.42, GT7 fans can still hold onto hope for classic circuits like Apricot Hill, Midfield Raceway, and Autumn Ring to make a triumphant return in 2024.
So, mark your calendars, Gran Turismo enthusiasts! January is shaping up to be an exciting month for racing, with new cars, tracks, and challenges waiting to be conquered in Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.42. Buckle up, get your racing gloves ready, and prepare to hit the gas!
