Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Polyphony Digital faced criticism for the prices of the in-game currency in Gran Turismo 7 once the microtransaction store went live.

In Gran Turismo Sport the majority of cars were priced at $0.99 to $4.99 each, while in Gran Turismo 7 it could potentially cost you upwards of $40.

100,000 credits can be purchased for $2.49 / £1.99, 250,000 credits for $4.99 / £3.99, 750,000 credits for $9.99 / £7.99, and 2,000,000 credits for $19.99 / £15.99. Several cars in the racing game can cost you upwards of 3,600,000 credits.

It is possible to earn the in-game currency by simply playing the game, however, the latest update for the game has made it harder to unlock new cars. 

The payout for the in-game currency has been reduced in several races, while fixing a bug that let players farm credits due to a bug.
