Released on March 4, 2022, Gran Turismo 7 focuses on an immersive driving experience.

Even though Gran Turismo 7 doesn’t officially support cheat codes, players can still discover various tips, tricks, and strategies to enhance their racing skills and gain a competitive edge on the virtual tracks.
Gran Turismo 7 Premise

Similar to just about every other mainline entry in the series, Gran Turismo 7 puts players into the shoes of an aspiring racer and auto enthusiast. After humbly beginning to tour the Gran Turismo circuit in modest beginner vehicles and earning progressively more challenging licenses to participate in professional races, players start to amass an impressive garage full of legendary automobiles befitting an up-and-coming championship driver.
The single-player campaign that players participate in via Gran Turismo 7‘s World Map is just half the fun, though, as there are plenty of other extracurriculars to get lost in for hardcore racing enthusiasts. Aside from the expected online and local multiplayer modes, there’s an extensive photo and video capture suite complete with an in-game social system for following and viewing real-world players’ replays. Further, players can stage their favorite vehicles in photos and display them in a virtual showroom.

Gran Turismo 7 Cheat Codes
Because Gran Turismo 7 has a highly competitive multiplayer mode, the developers did not add any cheat menu or other official ways to cheat. Players have to earn cars, tracks, and recognition the hard way. That said, players were able to find working cheat codes for Gran Turismo 4 nearly 20 years after its release, indicating that there may be as-yet undiscovered cheats for Gran Turismo 7.
Gran Turismo 7 Cheat Codes FAQ
Does Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (PS2): have cheat codes?
Yes, there is a way to unlock all the cars and have infinite money.
- All Cars: Input the code 01FFA7E0 000003E7 to unlock all cars.
- Infinite Money: Use the code 21FF1D60 05F5E0FF to have an unlimited amount of money.
How do you get unlimited money on Gran Turismo 7?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to earn unlimited money through an input cheat code like in 3 and 4. However, gamers have found glitches or tricks to help earn cash fast.
How do you unlock all cars in Gran Turismo 7?
Alas, the cheat code era of unlocking every car instantly is gone. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. The Cafe will constantly challenge you to unlock cars by winning races, and as long as you place top 3, you’ll earn the car. Winning championship races nets you more valuable and sought-after cars, and completing License challenges in bronze or gold will also sometimes provide cars as a reward. Simply playing through the game will see you earn dozens of vehicles in no time.
How do you beat Gran Turismo 7?
This isn’t a game you notably beat, but more like complete. The game has hundreds of cars, dozens of tracks to conquer, and endless challenges. Players should start in the Cafe and start those requests while starting to chip away at License challenges and don’t get stuck on receiving Gold. Bronze is fine for now until you get better cars.
