Gran Turismo 7's Autumn Ring Returns After 13-Year Hiatus

Remember tearing around Autumn Ring in the old Gran Turismo games? That iconic track is finally making its comeback in Gran Turismo 7's next big update, after a 13-year absence. And that's not all – you'll also get a brand-new real-world circuit, a dozen new rides, and plenty of other goodies to sink your teeth into.

Polyphony Digital just dropped the details for update 1.49, and it's a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Autumn Ring has been missing in action since Gran Turismo 6, so its return is huge news for longtime fans. If you've been craving those tight corners and sweeping curves, your wait is over.

But wait, there's more! The update introduces Sportsland Sugo, a real-life circuit in Japan that's making its series debut. This track is known for its technical layout and elevation changes, so get ready for some intense racing. It's a fresh challenge that'll test your skills in new ways.

Speaking of fresh, you'll have 12 new cars to play with. While the exact lineup hasn't been fully revealed, you can expect a mix of road cars and race machines to add to your garage. Whether you're a collector or a racer, there's something here to get excited about.

Beyond the tracks and cars, Polyphony is adding a bunch of other features to keep things interesting. We don't have all the details yet, but past updates have brought new races, café menus, and quality-of-life improvements. Hopefully, this one lives up to the hype.
