Gran Turismo 7 Update Sends Cars on Gravity-Defying Adventures, Fix on the Horizon

In the wake of a recent update, the developers of Gran Turismo 7 at Polyphony Digital have addressed an issue many players have experienced. This comes after noticing some unusual behavior from the vehicles, which is an understatement -- these cars are practically rocketing into outer space.

Since the release of Gran Turismo 7 update 1.49, social media has been flooded with a plethora of surreal videos. In some clips, cars are seen bouncing erratically on the asphalt as if they're at an energetic rock concert. Others, which are particularly amusing, capture vehicles spontaneously launching hundreds of feet into the air, leaving behind exaggerated trails of smoke as they vanish into the sky.

These wild gameplay moments have evoked some odd personal recollections. It reminds me of times from my childhood when my older siblings would catapult me off the trampoline with precise timing. While I only ended up with a broken arm from those incidents, one can't help but wonder about the fate of these airborne cars, likely to meet a destructive end upon their return to the ground.

Polyphony Digital has acknowledged these amusing but unintended glitches and explained that they are caused by specific car settings. They assured players that the issue is under investigation and promised to resolve it soon.

If this is a straightforward fix, we can expect the chaotic antics to be curtailed shortly. Depending on one's perspective, it might be a good time either to maximize gameplay in Gran Turismo 7 for some unintended fun or to wait until the patch is released for a more stable experience.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for other high-quality racing games, there are plenty of options available to indulge your need for speed.
