The latest update for Gran Turismo 6 has just gone live, and it’s arguably the biggest yet, bringing with it one of the most anticipated new features for the game: “community” tools. It also brings new cars, an updated track, new events, and much more.

The free update weighs in at 548MB; see an overview of what’s new below.

As always, check our Gran Turismo 6 forum for more analysis, discussion, and investigation of undocumented changes and features introduced in 1.14!

Community Features

[Community] has been added to the [ONLINE] section in “My Home”. Within [Community], players can create Clubs and gather together in club lobbies, host race events for the club members and much more. For further details please refer to the online manual linked to the bottom of this page.

It is also possible to access a web browser version of the Community feature via the official website. Though you will not be able to race from the browser version, you can create clubs and events, edit their settings and have the same communication tools available in game. The website version is also compatible with some smartphone browsers, allowing you to access your Clubs on the go.


Vision Gran Turismo Updates

The “Subaru VIZIV GT Vision Gran Turismo” has been released. The ultimate sportscar with the most aggressive specs in Subaru history, it still retains the full drivability you expect from a Subaru, enabling you to be in full control of the car at all times.

After the update has been installed, the car can be purchased from the [Vision GT] option within the [CARS] section in “My Home”. Alternatively, it is also possible to obtain the car by completing a lap (regardless of the lap time) in the new Seasonal Event, available only for a limited time.

Dice if you could add me please.

Anyone driven the Subaru VGT car? It sounds rather good, they've actually manage to capture the old-school flat-four noise. But for some reason it drives like it's FF, even though it states 4WD. Plant it from standstill and the front wheels spin... For the diff settings and you only get adjustment for the front, not the rear. Very strange considering it's supposed to have torque-vectoring.

tbh I've completely lost the love for GT6, just wish they'd leave it alone and focus on learning from mistakes while not ruining GT7 in an untimely manner.

Thought I'd fire this up for the first time in a Loooong time at the weekend.
So had a big PS update then the usual large GT update to download.

Nice to notice They have finally got the message about the sound, all the cars sound better now and some sound very good.
Got a Birthday car too (Forgot GT did this, nice touch).


Still a bloody good driving game, esp online...set up a open public lounge at Brands Hatch then spent a good three hours running around in various cars with different randoms.


Roll on GT7

That's a bit of a rubbish birthday present, last month they gave me a Countach!

Maybe because I was 40...?

I got the Lancer too although 74 isn't my year. I'm guessing they don't have any of the right year (Haven't checked!)
