**When the update originally came out, the update was suspiciously large (at 24 GB, instead of the intended 107 MB) due to the update being set to re-download all patches, instead of being differential patch (only updated files are downloaded). Patches for other games were also reportedly affected as the issue occurred in Sony's central patching services, such as Fortnite.

===2019===
*February 7, 2019 (1.33)The first minor update of 2019 saw a fix to an issue where the game would fail when pressing the Confirm button repeatedly during warm-up or qualifying sessions in Sport Mode, as well with refueling speed for stored Lobby settings.

*April 4, 2019 (1.37)This update reverted manual-clutch and H-pattern shifter behavior changes added in version 1.35, due to negative reception to that particular change.
*September 5, 2019 (1.44)This minor update contains fixes to Thai language option for Asian version of the game.

*December 10, 2019 (1.52)This update fixes an issue where the player cannot obtain cars (due to the game thinking the player's garage is full) if the game attempts to read save data created from, or last saved with, version 1.18 or lower.
**Note that, if the save is affected and the update is installed, all cars in the garage except for the player's starter car will be lost.
===2020===
*January 29, 2020 (1.55)This update tightens the penalty algorithm relating to collisions between cars.
*June 4, 2020 (1.60)This update fixes issues with the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept, such as issues with the car's hood in the Livery Editor and the car appearing to use the Balance of Performance settings of Porsche 911 RSR (991) '17 on oval courses. It also adjusts collisions in Sport Mode races, to reduce the bouncing/"pinball" effect.

*September 9, 2021 (1.67)This update updates Toyota logo branding and in process removes the red text/silver logo version of the Toyota decal.

*September 28, 2021 (1.68)This update, released eighteen days after GT7 was shown at the PlayStation Showcase event, simply improves online stability of the Open Lobby mode.
===End of Online Service===
*January 31, 2024 (1.69)This update is the end-of-online services patch for GT Sport, informing the player that the game's online services have ended and allowing certain features, such as saving, to be available offline.
