Gran Turismo players will have to wait until next year to play Gran Turismo 7 when it comes to the PlayStation 5. It will have been a long wait too, since the last release in the series, Gran Turismo Sport, came out in 2017. Nevertheless, developer Polyphony Digital has continued to support the previous title for those still biding their time ahead of the next game, dropping the first GT Sport patch of 2021, update 1.63, on February 24.
Changes
Update 1.63’s changes are largely centred around adjustments made to matchmaking in Sport Mode and reducing the frequency with which penalties are issued in the game, as well as a whole host of balance and performance tweaks.
GT Sport Update 1.63 Full Patch Notes
Here are all the changes being made to GT Sport in update 1.63:
Main Features Implemented
1. Penalties
- Fixed an issue wherein minor collisions would cause penalties to be issued.
- Adjusted the penalty algorithm so that penalties are issued less frequently when the internet connection environment is poor.
2. Sport Mode
- The number of matchmaking Regions for the Manufacturer Series has been changed from 5 to 3: ‘Europe/Middle East/Africa’, ‘Americas’, and ‘Asia-Oceania’. The Nations Cup will continue to be hosted in 5 Regions. For more details, please refer to the ‘Manufacturer Series Matchmaking Update Notice.
Other Improvements and Adjustments

What’s to come from GT Sport?
With Gran Turismo 7 set to come out in 2022, it’ll be all hands on deck at Polyphony Digital making sure that the next entry into the series is ready for launch. As such, any more support given to GT Sport between now and then is likely to be relatively minor. Until then, download GT Sport update 1.63 and enjoy.
