How to unlock multiplayer in Gran Turismo 7

Most racing games immediately give you the option of diving into the career mode or jumping into the multiplayer to race against others. That's not the case with GT7.

Gran Turismo 7 locks multiplayer away for players and forces you to play through a portion of the campaign in order to unlock it.

That's no bad thing given that you need some cars to go racing with in multiplayer! But it does mean you'll have to put some time in to get it.

Thankfully, it's not that long.

Grinding menus

Gran Turismo 7's campaign mode centres around completing menus from the GT Cafe. These give you the route to unlocking tracks, picking up new cars, and earning credits.
