Gran Turismo 7: Microtransactions Are Sometimes Expensive

It’s no secret that in the racing game Gran Turismo 7 (far 63.99€ in to buyIn addition to all the free content of the retail version, there are also some microtransactions.

The smallest package is $2.49 per 100,000 credits, while the largest package is $19.99 per 2 million credits. However, there are some cars that cost much more than two million units of in-game currency. McLaren P1 GTR ’16, for example, has 3.6 million credits. In order to be able to buy this tuning in the store, you are forced to buy twice the largest package – thus spending almost $40. For comparison, the same Gran Turismo Sport cost $4.99.
