Gran Turismo 6 Update Brings Birthday Cars And Red Bull Challenge
Gran Turismo fans have been waiting for the second half of the Red Bull Challenge. That content is available in a new update available today.
The 1.04 update also brings the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Racing Series and the Corvette Stingray Gran Turismo Concept. Both can be obtained by competing in the new seasonal event.
Players will also find themselves in receipt of a birthday gift. You’ll be getting an in-game vehicle from near the year of your birth within a week of your birthday.
The new update also removes an option to remove ghost replays in arcade mode time trial and free run quick mode. Additionally, Polyphony Digital has added information to the seasonal events so players can see the available prizes. To find out if Gran Turismo 6 is the racer for you, check out our review.

Our Take
The birthday cars are a neat idea, and I know we have readers who will be glad to see the second half of the Red Bull Challenge (after an erroneous alert set expectations for a January 1 release). The tweaks to ghost replays and seasonal event info come from fan requests, and it’s always good to see a developer responding in ways that make sense.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
