Across the long arc of gaming history, certain places become more than tracks — they become memories. Polyphony Digital has announced the return of Autumn Ring, a circuit born in the original Gran Turismo and absent for thirteen years, as the centerpiece of Gran Turismo 7's Spec IV update. Arriving in two waves before 2026 closes, the update weaves together nostalgia and new design, suggesting that the studio is thinking not only about where its players have been, but about who might join them next.
