Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.07 Live, Patch Notes Reveal Major New Feature

A new Gran Tursimo 7 update is live on PS4 and PS5 alongside official patch notes from developer Polyphony Digital that reveal and detail everything that has been changed and improved. The patch notes also reveal that a fairly substantial new feature has been added to the game as well. More specifically, a Broadcast Mode option has been added to the Sound Volume settings with the new update.

While we know everything the update does, we don't know what the file size for the update is on PS4 or PS5. It's likely smaller on the latter as file sizes typically are, but right now we can't confirm this or offer any insight into how long the download may take you other than point out that the patch notes aren't very dense or extensive, which in turns implies a smaller download size. 

Below, you can check out the update's complete and official patch notes:
