Gran Turismo 7's New Bonus Credits Offer Feels Cruel for Current Players

It was announced a little while back that the Gran Turismo series reached a whopping 100 million copies sold in total, making it comfortably one of Sony's most successful franchises.

In celebration of this milestone, developer Polyphony Digital has announced a couple of things for Gran Turismo 7. The first is a major free update named Spec III, due for release in December.

Additionally, a premium DLC called the Power Pack is also on the way, arriving at the same time as the update.

Now, a less splashy bonus has been unveiled, but rather than rewarding existing fans, it's something only new buyers can enjoy.

As announced on the game's socials, both editions of Gran Turismo 7 now come bundled with a bunch of in-game Credits at no additional cost.

If you buy the standard edition, you'll receive 750,000 Credits, while the Digital Deluxe edition rewards you with 2 million Credits.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not a massive number of Credits, but it's enough to give newbies a little head start in the sim racer.

While this is mainly a benefit for new purchases, fans of the series aren't best pleased about it, asking where their free Credits are for supporting the game at launch.

Indeed, it would be nice for fans to get some sort of perk, even if it is just a boost to their Credits.

Still, it's not a huge issue, really; if you're super into GT, you probably don't need to worry about your Credit count.
