Gran Turismo 5 blijft nog altijd goed vernieuwd. Sony heeft inmiddels namelijk weer een nieuwe update aangekondigd voor de game welke volgende week zal verschijnen. Het gaat allereerst om enkele nieuwe bolides voor het Car Pack 2, welke een 2011 Mini Cooper S, 2010 Volkswagen Golf VI R, 2010 Volkswagen Scirocco R en de nieuwe 2012 Nissan GT-R Black Edition R35 met zich meebrengt. Verder zal update 2.02 verschijnen voor alle spelers. Deze zal diverse bugfixes oppakken. Tevens worden gameplay/menu tweaks doorgevoerd. Iedereen die de update tevens binnenhaalt krijgt de Toyota FT-86 bolide gratis toegevoegd in zijn of haar garage. De gehele changelog is als volgt:
– Users can now change wheels on Standard cars
– The settings sheets will include a new ‘copy’ feature
– In GT Auto, players will be able to see how the oil changes, aerodynamic parts, engine overhauls, and racing modifications will affect performance points and engine power, before and after their application
– Free coupons have been added that allow you to wash cars, change oil, overhaul your engine, or refresh the car body in GT Auto (10 coupons will be distributed for free to each of those who have downloaded the 2.02 update)
– Pressing the Square button in the car coupon selection screen of the Car Delivery will now allow you to exchange all car coupons at once, rather than doing one at a time
– In screens where the [Garage] and [Driver List] buttons are displayed in the A/B Spec events, Special Events, and Seasonal Events, pressing the Square button will now show the [Garage], and pressing the Triangle button will bring up the drivers list
– In My Lounge, the room settings will feature a new ‘Max. number of participants’ setting
– In the event selection screen of seasonal events, there are now ™(star) marks that show the number of Gold Trophies attained in each event
– Improved racing sound effects
– Elements of the steering assist controls (used when using certain controllers on Racing Karts) have been tweaked
