New Gran Turismo 6 Glitch Lets You Earn 50,000,000 Credits, Saving $360 in Microtransactions

With the introduction of the free BMW M4 Coupé to Gran Turismo 6 another glitch was introduced much like the one with the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo, allowing you to earn an inordinate amount of credits (50,000,000) in minutes, saving you the equivalent of $360 in microtransactions.

[Pintheshadows]

Don't do it. Earn the cars the way you should always earn cars in GT. By winning races and putting time and effort in.

The fact that two people disagreed with me is shocking.

[Godmars290]

Yeah, it is kind of funny how everyone was saying earn your cars before this glitch, now they're saying use the glitch to get all the cars. Which you shold be earning through normal gameplay.

[memots]

I did the 20m glitch. And i got most car i already had in gt5,

I am good, Not going to glitch anymore. All i really wanted back was my Vettel red bull x1, got it free with gt5 and it was 6m to get it here.

the rest was a Ferrari i paid huge money for and the formula gt i grinded so much for in gt5P.

Yes i cheated but i think you should have had an option to move your favorite top 10 car from Gt5 and no be able to sell them. Then i wouldn't have use the glitch. 50m is way too much

[Pintheshadows]

I did that as well Memots, and you know what, I regret it immensely.

[pandehz]

DO it, your time is more valuable than pixels.

Get your pick of all the cars and enjoy the controls/race/visual experience etc, ignore the illusion of time-spent-effort-made=reward earned.

''time-spent-effort-m ade=reward earned'' this should apply only in real life. Its an illusion in real too but that's a whole different topic.

[MestreRothN4G]

The progression in games is a big part of the experience and reason to achieve great scores / overcome challenges.

Well, at least it was before the microtransactions domination. Now I agree with you. Cheat the hell out of the game. It's like putting 1k lives in Candy Crush or unlocking the stages without paying out. =)

They must be furious to see their progression walls falling down like a drunk old man.

[specialguest]

There's nothing wrong with this glitch. We'll just consider this like a secret trick to get cheats such as max lives, credits, level skip, etc, like games from the old school era. Back when it required a secret combination of things to do in order to get the cheats, unlike today where they charge us through MT.

[RadioActiveTwinky]

Either way MT will ruin a retailed price game. Its the reason why some of these glitches are possible.

[Seraphemz]

Then they shouldnt have microtransactions where someone can just BUY it..instead of "earning" it.

[C-H-E-F]

Playing GT with overpowered cars on lower level tracks is BORING. I understand some people may want a lambo or something, but making 50mil in gt6 is going to render the game 100% boring real quick.

[kneon]

Couldn't agree more. The game is most fun in the first few hours when all you have is crap cars and no money.

I'm trying to keep that going as I progress in the game by not buying any cars and not spending any money on tuning and tires. I haven't even changed any car setups except for turning off traction control for the rally racing.

So far I've racked up about 50 cars all through racing. I've only bought the initial Honda fit and a set of SH tires for the fit and that's it. So I'm sitting on close to $3,000,000 credits and have no use for them yet.

[Hyper_Tension140]

Yea I agree, I felt like a badass the first time I earned 20,000,000 in gt5 and brought the redbull x1. Loving gt6 so far much better than gt5.

[rainslacker]

Grinding out GT with appropriately spec'd cars is boring as well. I love the racing part, but not the having to do it many many many times just to grind to 1-2 million credits, just so you can start doing some of the much more challenging tracks locked away behind all those challenges. This is even more true of the cars that cost 5+ million credits.

GT6 is better about it as there seems to be more variety in the tracks, but GT5 was pretty much all the same races over and over again.

I love GT. It's one of my most played games. But I forgot how long the early part of the game takes. And how frustrating it is they give you the worst cars for the licence trials.

If you like challenge though, see how often you can lap the other cars in the Red Bull concept car in a longer race with no car restrictions on it.. It's quite fun.:)

[PS3Freak]

Agreed. Getting 50 million for nothing would ruin the fun for me. But I like to play Gran Turismo the old fashioned way. To each their own.

[Transporter47]

Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of playing the game and acquiring the cars?

[Abriael]

And here i thought the purpose of the game was driving.

Silly me :D

[Transporter47]

I guess, I'm used to the old school way, of in order to get the fast cars you need to get better by slowly advancing through the game which then unlocks the cars.

[ShinMaster]

Yes, you drive to acquire more and better cars. That's the point.

[PS3Freak]

It's always been more about car collecting for me. But I've been playing since '97 with GT1.

[SoapShoes]

@Abriael, do you get RPGs and expect to your stats to be maxed out? You must really be missing Game Shark. I prefer to actually beat my games. If you want a GT with no career get GTPSP....

[rainslacker]

You can use this glitch to collect cars. Doesn't mean you have to use those cars to speed up progression.

Sometimes it's nice to just take out some of those more expensive cars and drive them around the track. That's what I did with the first glitch.

I still use the regular cars either given to me, or mostly purchased through normal means on the regular game progression.

I never did like how you had to race the races countless times just to get a specific car for one race. I don't mind the challenge of racing with cars similar to what the AI cars use.

I don't really feel guilty about it. If the glitch weren't there I certainly wouldn't buy credits with real money. No point for me.

[ruefrak]

So does this mute the whole argument over microtransactions? Doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore.

[Abriael]

pretty much. They don't seem to care enough about microtransactions to even fix this.

[MestreRothN4G]

1. In any game they'd fix it. In a MT game, you can bet this is high on their priorities.

2. This doesn't mute the discussion simply because now what you were supposed to pay to get, you are supposed to cheat for the same reason.

The design of MT games is effed up with or without cheats.

It is like playing a game with overpowered enemies (oh, you can buy a boost for you armor) and suddenly a cheat for god mode appearing. Does it fix the design?

Both cheats and MT ruin the progression experience.

[rainslacker]

Don't know if they can fix it. The first one relied on a patch, and the removal of that patch. Can't really fix something if the user doesn't connect to the internet, as the vanilla software allowed the glitch to work.

Removing the patch from distribution may be able to do it, but seems like this may be an issue for every patch if it works the way I'm suspecting the first glitch to work.

If so, it means people in the know would never spend real money. For Sony though there is a huge casual base with GT, so they likely don't keep up on this stuff and may still purchase credits.

[andrewsqual]

Didn't look at the video but isn't the 20,000,000 limit in this game just like in GT5? How can you make 50,000,000 then?

[Abriael]

Maybe you should look at the video lol.

[funnybus3rd]

When you update to 1.01 the limit goes up to 50 million.

[-Foxtrot]

Funny how most games with MT end up having glitches which ends up ruining developers little money schemes.

Same happened with Rockstar with the online money glitch

[mdluffy]

This glitch have been patched, so do it if you wanna lose your cars.

[Abriael]

Nope. No it hasn't.

[clmstr]

lol, who on Earth would spend 360 bucks on a video game...

[Zancruz]

PC users do it all the time... Upgrading their PC's for the last greatest game.

[clmstr]

Well, I had spent 1500 bucks on a new rig in summer of 2012 and I do not plan on upgrading for the next 2 or 3 years. I don't know what kind of PC gamers are you talking about dude.

[WeAreLegion]

League of Legends and Warcraft.

[Zancruz]

And that $1500 is a Meh PC, I bet it's off the shelf... Great graphic cards that pushes ultra settings with no lag in FPS, You know the that's makes PC so great along are over or close too $1500.

When some great new Crysis like game that comes out pushing revolutionary graphics and physics to the extreme, PC users will be upgrading.

[Double_O_Revan]

Some people only play one game, for years. Look at WoW. $50 when the game launched, $30 expansions, $15 per month.

$180 a year just on the sub. I know people that played for around 5 years.
$900 on sub + $50 main + $30x2 expansions = $1010

Now over 5 years, that's not too bad. But thats still a lot considering its the Same game.

[DanielGearSolid]

Nobody wants a challenge anymore

[ELCUCO]

We'll show them what happens when you add microtransactions. Money glitchers unite!

/s

[jromao]

GT is a game to play (drive), flaws/glitches are unfortunately common in video games (as in all software) and it's with each own conscience to use them or not either CREDITS are now costing real money or for free as in GT5. Not pretending to give moral lessons, I prefer to keep my progress in GT6 inside "rules", just my choice.

Another point, game keeps track of all transactions, so it's very easy a future update to check if this type of glitches were used and make "corrections" on that user/profile (also common) :)

[Zancruz]

And I didn't even need an Gameshark... :)

[gamegenieny]

:D

[XiSasukeUchiha]

XD Nice now save your money before the patch or your never it getting back

[Felonycarclub8]

I feel so tempted because I just don't have the time like I used to but I do like to challenge myself and that's why I like GT.

[LiQuiZoN]

I glitches 400mil worth. 20 vision gt Benz.
Totally worth it! My time is more valuable and I still love driving! I'm also a veteran sim driver so I don't need the practice in the least.

Very content!

Note: it will take about 2 hours I spend all the money which sucks.
