New Star GP PS4 platinum guide

New Star GP

PS4

In Career, win the cups on your way from the 1980s to the 2020s. Before moving up, check Grand Prix wins for the decade, team progress and your balance. The separate Championship menu has its own trophies, including the multiplayer targets you can plan around local play.

Native PS4 list: 51 trophies. You can run the PS4 version on PS5; this guide does not assume a native PS5 stack.

  • Campaign: Win the 2020s season and collect every Career cup.
  • Multiplayer: Championships and a Competitive AI race are in the local multiplayer menu; there is no need to arrange internet races.
  • Separate progress: Career cups and Bronze, Silver and Gold championships are tracked in separate menus.

Finish the cups before changing decade

Start your Career in the 1980s and use early events to learn braking, tyres and pit stops. Clear the available cups and track the named Grands Prix you have won, including Northampton, Naples and Vienna. When promotion opens, check the decade summary first: a season title and individual cup trophies have different conditions.

  • Keep one line per decade for cups, missing Grands Prix and promotion.

Use familiar Grands Prix for streaks

For the five- and ten-win streaks, run familiar Grands Prix and check the results before changing event. For The Tyre Specialist, finish a Career GP after using two tyre types: plan a stop before grip drops away. If it rains, judge when a switch to wet tyres is worthwhile.

  • The streak counts GP wins; other event results do not replace a Grand Prix victory.

Manage staff, sponsors and BUX

Check sponsors when better deals appear and equip one that pays more than 400 BUX. Delay non-essential spending until you have the bank balance above 10,000. After it unlocks, concentrate your spending on fully upgrading one car and develop the team until all perk slots are open.

  • Upgrading one component and fully upgrading a car are separate checks.

Isolate damaged-car and wet-weather wins

Build your clean streak first, then handle awkward conditions separately: a wet GP win, a win with one broken component, and one with more than one. Pick a short circuit you know and check the status indicators before the last lap so you can tell component damage from an actual failure.

  • Try the 25-second winning margin in a separate GP when your streak is safe.

Move on to the local championships

Open Championships from the local multiplayer menu. Complete enough Bronze championships to unlock Silver, then complete Silver championships until Gold opens. For The Real Deal, set the AI to Competitive in a multiplayer race and finish first. Verify the setting in that menu rather than relying on the Career difficulty.

  • Confirm both tier unlocks in the Championships menu.
