Cheats for PS2 classic Gran Turismo 4 discovered after nearly 20 years

Video game cheats used to be a highly popular occurrence across games, so much so that entire physical guides were released in the past in order to collate them. The practice is unfortunately no longer commonplace, but that does not mean that new cheats aren’t being discovered. More than 18 years after its initial launch, multiple cheat codes have been found for the PlayStation 2 classic Gran Turismo 4.

As discovered by Gran Turismo enthusiast ‘Nenkai’ the 2004 classic PS2 racer Gran Turismo 4 included a whole host of secretive cheat codes – a first for the series. Though it may have taken nearly two-decades to find, 4 cheat codes in total have been discovered. After 365 days of in-game time has passed, users can input these button combinations for some pretty major skips:

• 10.000.000 Cr: Select, Left, Right, Right, Down, Up, Up, Left, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, L1, R1, Select
