Sure, you still have your typical crop of “crutch” cheats that can help you out in a bind or give you certain unrealistic advantages. However, many of the included cheats are gags, or interesting and fun abilities and gameplay mechanics that are too far out or unrealistic to gel with the main GTA 5 experience in any other context, but that add a huge amount of gameplay value nonetheless. One thing GTA 5 cheats do not offer is a quick way to riches - the game lacks a ‘money cheat’, which is due to the link between the single player stock market and GTA Online’s economy that was present in the past. That said, you’re not going to be super concerned about money when your punches and ammo rounds explode on impact, you’re invincible, and also have instant access to all the weapons available in the game as well as many of the vehicles, right? We have all the GTA 5 cheats and codes for PlayStation consoles (PS5, PS4 and PS3), Xbox consoles (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Xbox 360), and PC below. This guide includes the relevant cheat code button combinations and also the cell phone cheat numbers - both methods have the same list of cheats, it’s just the method of activating them that is different. It’s important to note, before jumping in, that activating any cheat will disable achievements and trophies, so it’s best to save your game before using any GTA 5 cheats, giving you a safe place to load back to. You can also deactivate any cheat by entering the same code a second time, when applicable - cheats that heal you, give weapons and ammo, or spawn vehicles won’t “undo” their effects like this. On consoles, you activate cheats simply by pressing the button combinations while playing, without pausing the game. Your character will be reacting to your input here, but you can just think of that as a small celebratory dance before the fun begins. On PC, you need to open up the in-game developer console with the tilde (~) key and type your cheats in there to activate them. If you are using the phone number activation method, you need to pull up the in-game cell phone interface, dial your chosen cheat code’s ‘phone number’ and call it for the cheat effect to activate. This cellphone approach only works on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Curiously, there are a few cheats that are ’exclusive’ to the cell phone method on consoles and we have those listed too. Armed with this knowledge, you are ready to jump into the crazy and beautiful world of GTA 5 cheats, so pick your favorites from our comprehensive list below and get playing.
