The release date for GT7 update 1.49 is expected to be on Thursday, July 25. This information is based on the fact that GT7's monthly updates are usually released on the final Thursday of the month, and if update 1.49 follows this pattern, it would fall on this date. However, given that Update 1.49 is being unveiled this weekend, it could arrive earlier in the month, possibly on Thursday, July 11.
The Eiger Nordward circuit, a fan-favorite from the PlayStation 3 era, is making its return to the Gran Turismo series in update 1.49 for GT7. The track was first introduced in Gran Turismo HD and is known for its tricky layout and spectacular scenery.
The Eiger Nordwand Short Track is a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) fictional tarmac circuit located in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland5. It is part of the Eiger Nordwand complex of circuits which appear in Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6, featuring a highly technical course with a quadruple-hairpin switchback section, seven other tricky corners, and significant elevation changes.
