The latest franchise in the series, GT Sport was long awaited by fans when Sony first teased it back in late 2016. The title has been under serious development until it was recently released last month. Being a core title for Sony to succeed in the upcoming years accompanying the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation VR, the title without a doubt does impress a number of racing enthusiasts.

With the title crossing its 7th week since its initial launch, Sony has teased a few upcoming changes with Patch 1.06, a patch that would introduce Offline Play, New Cars and GT League where players would be able to tear down the road.
Offline Gameplay Support
What’s one of the most exciting features coming with GT Sport is that they are adding offline gameplay support to GT Sport. Players should also look forward to various additions to their liveries and should also expect some balancing to the gameplay of the title.
New Cars
For now, Sony has confirmed that players could expect three cars coming to the title with Patch 1.06. These cars include Audi’s R18, the ISO Rivolta Zagato VGT, and the Shelby Cobra 427.
Sony has also touted and detailed that the December update would add 12 more cars into the title. What’s nice is that these cars would be a part of Sony’s free update schemes. Regarding what cars should you expect from the free update, here’s the list of cars.

GT League
Sony has also announced the addition of GT League to GT Sport with the upcoming free December update. Adopting the transition from previous title, GT League introduces a new way to challenge racers with single player racers under challenging situations.
