News Multi-monitor support comes to Gran Turismo 6 in 1.05 update

Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital has added multi-monitor support to Gran Turismo 6, in the latest update for the PS3-exclusive racing game.

Upon installing the "V1.05" patch, players will now be able to run Gran Turismo 6 on numerous screens – like, for instance, the triple-monitor set up on Alan's PC gaming rig – instead of being limited to a single display unit.

An array of mosly minor improvements to GT6 are also featured in the V1.05 update, ranging from an icon in the menu screen which displays which Consecutive Log-In Bonus stage the player is at, to a 'car search' functionality in the Dealership section and the ability to alter the traction control settings for karts in the 'Driving Options' menu.

In conjunction, 'HotFix' patch released shortly after the V1.05 went live also updated the content of the in-game car Dealership, though it's unknown at time of writing exactly what this is.

The V1.05 update – not including the ninja 'HotFix' update – weighs in at 100MB. Full details of all the ammendments made to Gran Turismo 6 can be found below.
