Fanatec has pushed out a hotfix aimed at Gran Turismo DD Pro owners who have been running into problems with the wheelbase in Gran Turismo 7, according to GTPlanet. The fix ships through a new version of the Fanatec App, so anyone affected will need to update the software rather than wait for an in-game patch from Polyphony.

Details beyond that are thin at the moment. Fanatec has not broken down exactly which symptoms the hotfix addresses in public detail, and we are not going to guess at the specifics or the exact version number until we can confirm them. What is clear is that the company treated this as urgent enough to warrant a standalone release rather than folding it into a regular firmware cycle.

Why it matters is simple. The DD Pro is the official Gran Turismo direct drive base, and GT7 on PS5 is the single most common place it gets used. When the officially licensed wheel misbehaves in the game it was designed around, that is a bad look for both Fanatec and Sony, and it is exactly the kind of thing that should be fixed quickly. If your DD Pro has been acting up in GT7 lately, check the Fanatec App for the update before you go hunting for hardware faults. If things have been working fine, there is no harm in waiting a few days to see how other owners report the update before installing it.
