It hasn’t been without its issues however, the games hefty microtransactions and in-game rewards were heavily criticised at launch and after an update from the game’s developer, Polyphony Digital, a number of updates have taken place to rebalance some of Gran Turismo 7’s achievements.

Now, Kazunori Yamauchi has teased that even more content will be arriving in the game, with three new cars making their way over to the popular racing simulator.
