Of course, players will always find the shortest route to a reward, and lists of tracks that could be exploited for (relatively) easy credits began circulating. Well, Gran Turismo 7 dropped a new update today, with the patch notes making mention that the rewards for certain circuits have been adjusted, without getting into specifics. Well, it turns out the adjustments are almost all reductions for tracks players had been using for credit-grinding purposes. So, yes, Sony and Polyphony Digital’s response to widespread complaints about grindiness was to make the game even more grindy. Here’s the full list of adjusted rewards (courtesy of Video Games Chronicle and folks on the Gran Turismo Discord)…

Gran Turismo 7 is available now on PS4 and PS5. Wccftech made the rare decision to retroactively lower our review score for the game due to not having access to the game’s microtransactions prior to launch.
