Polyphony Digital has recently released Gran Turismo 7 update 1.07 and it adds a new mode for livestreaming.
The newest update, version 1.07 just dropped today on PS4 and PS5. While it includes tons of fixes and improvements to the game, one new feature was added and it is the Broadcast Mode. It is a helpful little tool for players who would want to stream their gameplay on YouTube or any other streaming site while making it easier for them to monetize it.
With Broadcast Mode, players can remove all music tracks that could potentially trigger a copyrights infringement notice from the game’s BGM playlist. With it on, some of the Music Rally or Music Replay tracks will not be available.
In order to enable the mode, simply go to [GT Menu] > [Options] > [Global] > [Sound Volume] and setting [Broadcast Mode] to ‘On.’
If players are still getting copyrights infringement notices from YouTube even if Broadcast Mode is on, they are advised to report it quickly.
Here are the full patch notes:
