What is in Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.29 Besides PSVR2 Support?
Since the release of Gran Turismo 7 in March 2022, there were many free updates for this fantastic real driving simulator, and the update from February 2023 brings the most significant things so far. In addition to the already mentioned support for playing the complete game with the new PSVR2, there are also the following:
GT Sophy AI is Introduced With Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.29
GT Sophy Race Together is the new mode that features a new machine-learning AI that will be the end of us all! Sophy is Polyphony Digital’s experiment that they have been developing since 2021 and the time of Gran Turismo Sport, now Gran Turismo 7 players will finally get the chance to test it themselves and race against superhumanly smart AI in this time-limited mode that will be available until March 31. Many have called this AI the “most human-like AI ever” in any racing game so far, so give it a shot.
