After some eight years since the last numbered instalment, Polyphony Digital’s flagship PlayStation series returns today with Gran Turismo 7 – and going live alongside it on the PlayStation Store are some microtransactions which represent a slightly tweaked approach to the one we saw in Gran Turismo Sport.
The microtransactions in Gran Turismo Sport – released in a post-launch update – had players buying individual cars at a set price, with only those of a value up to 2 million in-game credits available for purchase. Gran Turismo 7, however, does away with that restriction and simply offers in-game currency for sale, starting at £1.99 for 100,000 credits all the way to £15.99 for 2,000,000 credits.
