Gran Turismo 7's microtransactions are now available, and GT Sports' $5 cars are now $40. In-game credits can be purchased in packs of up to $20 each.

Microtransactions for Gran Turismo 7 went online on the game's release day, exposing a considerable price hike over its PS4 predecessor.

The $70 / £70 PlayStation 5 title allows players to purchase packages on the PlayStation Store to supplement the credits they would normally earn during the game.

Because these microtransactions were unavailable throughout the review period, it was impossible to estimate how much credits would cost after the game was published.

However, now that it's out, the entire rates for these microtransactions are available.

On the PlayStation Store, there are four credit packs available for the following prices:

• 100,000 credits – $2.49 / £1.99
• 250,000 credits – $4.99 / £3.99
• 750,000 credits – $9.99 / £7.99
• 2,000,000 credits – $19.99 / £15.99

The game's cars range in price from tens of thousands of credits for low-spec automobiles to millions of credits for high-performance vehicles.

Individual vehicles in Gran Turismo Sport can be purchased as microtransactions, with the bulk of cars costing between $0.99 and $4.99 each. In Gran Turismo 7, this is no longer the case.

A Porsche 919 Hybrid 16, which was previously available for $2.99 in Gran Turismo Sport, is now only available for 3,000,000 credits, requiring the player to spend at least $40.

There are a slew of more examples, such as:

• Aston Martin Vulcan ’16 ($4.99 in GT Sport) – 3,300,000 credits in GT 7 ($40)
• McLaren P1 GTR ’16 ($4.99 in GT Sport) – 3,600,000 credits in GT 7 ($40)
• Audi R18 TDI ’11 ($2.99 in GT Sport) – 3,000,000 credits in GT 7 ($40)

A great number of high-end cars similarly cost 1,000,000 credits, however, the PlayStation Store does not provide this option.

As a result, players who are low on credits and want to buy a million-credit car will have to pay $15 for 750,000 and 250,000 credits, or $20 for 2,000,000.

Every car includes a variety of upgrade parts, the same as in previous Gran Turismo games, all of which cost credits.

In a recent State of Play video, certain 'legendary' cars costing up to 20,000,000 credits were shown in motion. It's unclear whether car values have risen or fallen since then.

Toisthe hasn't seen any cars at that price in the game yet, but the renowned auto store rotates on a regular basis, so they could turn up at any time. If they do, a car like this would set you back $200 in real money.
