Gran Turismo 5 to Install DLC in the Near Future

06/19/2011 Written by Jonathan Leack

Gran Turismo 5 elegantly graced the PlayStation 3 last year, and while it was packed to the hood with content, car enthusiasts have been begging for more. We’re now halfway through the new year, and no downloadable content has been announced. We’re sure it’s in development, but when will it arrive?

Editor Guillaume Couturier had some predictable but exciting information to share on the French PlayStation Blog. In reply to a question regarding DLC for Gran Turismo 5, Guillaume posted the following (translated from French):

“Polyphony has begun with the new update, and DLC should follow, but I have no confirmation yet.”

The update he is referring to is the v1.10 patch which just released last week and added a mountain of new features and fixes. Speaking of which, Gran Turismo 5 has evolved tremendously over the past seven months. Whether it be balancing online play, making menu navigation quicker, or even new content, Polyphony Digital has delivered the goods. With that said, some new premium cars or tracks would be extremely exciting. Myself and many other feel at this point that we’ve raced around Nurburgring enough times with each of the cars, and experiencing some new machines would be appetizing.

PlayStation LifeStyle will update you with any information regarding Gran Turismo 5 DLC as soon as it is available, so check back for more.

    cool i was gunna start playing anyways

  2. I know it will be impossible but making all the cars in GT5 ‘Premium cars’ would be amazing! :P
    + i am stuck on the game now(A-spec & B-spec modes)so i haven’t played it for ages but i did the updates & yeah it has improved a lot(like menu navigation is quicker + you only have to press the circle button to go back most of the times etc etc) ;)

    • It can be slow at the higher levels but I went from A spec lvl 35 to 37 just from doing the K Cup & Civic seasonals for the last week, 53K XP every 3-6 minutes goes a long way.

      i noticed that too, and the ability to purchase and install parts from the tuning menu is awesome.

      i love this game. im usually against pointless dlc but this is the only game that i would actually like to see some dlc in.

      and yea it would be cool if every car was a premium and i wouldnt say its impossible but considering Polyphony probably doesnt have enough employees to work on something like that, it probably is.

    Hey folks! I just started playing GT on my PSP and, if the intro movie is made from someking of GT5 footages, then I think we can hope for some new tracks. I played GT5 a lot and I cannot remind where some of these video footages are from.

    FYI, in french “Il se pourrait que” mean “it could” not “it should”.

  5. I hope there is some DLC in the near future because I’ve been playing this game alot lately! The x3 Credits sure does help : )
