The Gran Turismo 7 latest update dropped earlier today, but it would appear that it heavily nerfed some aspects of the game that players did not very much appreciate. As someone pointed out on a Reddit thread, the payouts on some of the game’s most lucrative races were heavily reduced, and players have voiced their opinions on this newest update.

Reddit user FMecha posted the findings of Discord user ddm (runs the used/legend car dealer tracker for the game) which outlined the current credit changes made in the recent update.

As you can see, almost all of the Cups, Challenges, and Champions races were nerfed in terms of credits given. Several users in the same thread pointed out that the reductions were outrageous, with some even wondering if this has to do with further pushing gamers into microtransactions.

Credit nerfs aside, Gran Turismo 7 still managed to come out on top in our review of the game here, where James wrote, “Gran Turismo 7 represents a true return to form for Polyphony Digital. Despite being the seventh mainline iteration, the team is still able to keep the series feeling fresh with its new coat of paint and innovative technology with its new weather system (and even a new AI tech called “Sophy”). For Gran Turismo players out there thinking this might be a half step measure, it’s not; it’s a full blown experience and so much more. It’s an essential must-play for any fan out there and it just might be my favorite Gran Turismo thus far.”

Thanks, Reddit!
