With the PlayStation Store Update in Europe today, the true cost of the Gran Turismo 6 in-game credits was revealed, two days ahead of the game going on sale this Friday in North America and Europe:
- 500,000 In-Game Credits (£3.99/€4.99)
- 1 Million In-Game Credits (£7.99/€9.99)
- 2,500,000 In-Game Credits (£15.99/€19.99)
- 7 Million In-Game Credits (£39.99/€49.99)
While the North America PlayStation Store hasn’t updated to show these credits yet, expect €1 to equal $1.
Here’s a video (via Eurogamer) showing off all the cars in the dealership:
On Twitter, the over 100,000 followers Shuhei Yoshida was pointed towards the price of these in-game credits, to which he replied:
Read the posts, the game is just offering an alternative path to busy people. Read reviews when they come out.
And when someone said how microtransactions aren’t a good thing, Shuhei responded with:
Microtransaction per se is not a bad thing, how the game is designed around it could become a problem.
With our review of Gran Turismo 6 coming this week, and the actual game out in a couple of days, we should be able to see just how much these microtransactions impact the overall experience very soon.
