It hasn’t been that long since Polyphony Digital released its newest racing title Gran Turismo 6, and it seems like the company is already pushing out updates for the game to make the overall experience better than what it currently is for fans. Now, according to reports, the game is receiving a new patch 1.02 that offers consecutive login bonus, increased payouts and more.
Released as a part of events centered around Red Bull Racing, the update offers two new Red Bull cars and the Red Bull X Challenge, “an innovative collaboration with Infiniti Red Bull Racing that includes 2013 Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel mentoring players in the art of driving an authentic formula car,” the official page states.
As of now, owners of the game will have the opportunity to select the first two of four new Red Bull cars. While the ‘Red Bull Racing Kart’ and ‘Red Bull X2014 Junior’ will arrive in dealerships in-game via the update, the Red Bull X2014 ‘Standard’ and ‘Fan’ cars are expected to arrive at a later stage.
“All of the new Red Bull X2014 cars have been designed for GT6 in conjunction with Infiniti Red Bull Racing’s legendary Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey.”
The company states that the free update to the game has been pushed out “as a special end-of-year gift for Gran Turismo fans from Polyphony Digital and Red Bull” which is “a unique and exciting collaboration in the franchise’s 15th anniversary year.”
Commenting on the Red Bull X Challenge, Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc., said: “We are very grateful to Adrian Newey, Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti Red Bull Racing for providing this special gift for Gran Turismo fans.”
“To be taught how to drive downforce cars by the best racing driver in the world is very special and the new Red Bull X2014 cars are another exciting addition to Gran Turismo 6. This is the latest update for the game and there are more to come.”
Additionally, Infiniti Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel added: “I’ve been playing Gran Turismo since I was 12, so to take part in the game myself is just great. I hope everyone enjoys the game.”
