Polyphony Digital has confirmed that the free Spec III update for Gran Turismo 7 will arrive the week of December 4 and will land the same week as the series’ first paid DLC, the Power Pack, which is due on Thursday, December 4 for PlayStation 5. Series creator Kaz Yamauchi posted on X that “the GT7 Spec III update is coming next week” which confirms the timing for players on PS5 and PS4. The studio says the update will bring track, car, UI and online tweaks alongside new Scapes and menu additions. Console PC Gaming previously reported that update 1.63 added five cars and new World Circuit events, and Spec III looks to be a larger follow-up that expands the game systems and content in more places.
