Gran Turismo 7's Massive Day One Patch Available Early

Gran Turismo 7 isn't out (at least for those of us in the United States) for a couple of more hours, but that hasn't prevented Sony and developer Polyphony Digital from pushing the game's day one patch live early. With GT7 already being available in other regions around the globe, Sony has now made the first update for the game downloadable. And fortunately, even if Gran Turismo 7 isn't available to play in your own part of the world just yet, you can install this update right now. 

The day one update for Gran Turismo 7, which is version 1.050, was pushed out for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 earlier today. In total, the patch is 17 GB in total, which is pretty massive. As a whole, this patch alone is nearly a quarter of the size of GT7's base install size. And while we don't know everything about what is included in this update just yet, the patch notes should likely be released in the near future. 

As mentioned, if you're someone who already has Gran Turismo 7 pre-installed on your PS5 or PS4 digitally, you can now look to also download this day one patch prior to the game formally becoming available. Obviously, if you're looking to pick up GT7 physically, you'll have to wait a bit longer in order to get the update for yourself. Still, it's good to know at least how much data you'll have to download whenever you might begin the process of obtaining this patch. 

Gran Turismo 7 will be available tomorrow, March 4th, on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 platforms. If you'd like to tide yourself over until launch, you can read our glowing review of the game right here.
