Following the latest update packed with controversial changes, a bombardment of negative reviews on Metacritic, and even a public apology from Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi, the company acknowledged the whiplash. It then proceeded to fix most of the issues on Gran Turismo 7 most significant update.

Sony and Polyphony Digital announced the release of update 1.11 for Gran Turismo 7, which brought several improvements to the game, including an increase in the amount of credits players can earn by playing in several modes. If you check the update notes, you will see how most improvements regard an increase in rewards. Finally, players can buy cars in Gran Turismo 7 without mimicking real life.
