Gran Turismo 7's most recent update was meant to improve and tweak the racing sim’s car physics. But something went wrong , leading to flying cars and an apology from the devs. Gran Turismo 7's launch in 2022 didn’t go well, with players complaining about always-online servers and having to grind for hours to afford new cars and upgrades. The game was review-bombed and became Sony’s lowest-rated game.
Instead, players quickly discovered that the update had turned many cars into Honda-built missiles that would shoot off into the sky or float around lazily during races. While these wacky flying cars might not be “realistic” or “correct,” it certainly is fun to watch. On July 25, shortly after the update went live, Polyphony Digital posted on Twitter that it was aware of “unintended vehicle behavior” happening in GT7 after patch 1.49.
