Gran Turismo 6 will be the first game in the series to feature microtransactions, Sony has confirmed. A post on the PS Blog explains how in-game credits will be implemented, alongside announcing digital pre-orders are now being accepted. You'll be able to purchase bundles of 500K, 1 million, 2.5 million or 7 million credits from the PS Store that can in turn be exchanged for cars and parts. While it's been confirmed that microtransactions will feature in the game, Sony hasn't announced how much the in-game credits will cost in terms of real-world cash. There's also some confusion over whether these cars will be purchasable without spending real-world money. It seems like the option to throw some cash around is literally just to speed things up, though some fans have expressed concern over what this will do to the game's progression if you can purchase a charged-up supercar too early on. The post does confirm, however, that the GT 6 Special Edition will be available for digital pre-order as well, offering the game, 20 extra cars from the Torque, Performance, Adrenaline and Velocity packs, custom PSN avatars, paint chips, race suits and helmets.
