GTA 5 offers a variety of cheats and codes to enhance your gameplay by providing access to weapons, cars, health boosts, and the ability to adjust your wanted level across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. Whether you’re looking to gain an advantage, simply enjoy the game in a different way, or unleash some superpowers, these cheats will allow you to have a blast.
To activate cheats in GTA 5 on PS4, PS5, and Xbox, you need to enter the button combinations using the D-pad and face buttons or use your in-game smartphone. For PC users, console commands are available as well. Keep in mind that using cheats disables trophies and achievements, so if that matters to you, be careful. You can undo any cheats you’ve entered by re-inputting them, but it’s safest to restart your game to fully revert any changes.
For your own safety, it’s wise to use a separate save file when experimenting with cheats. This way, your primary save remains untouched, mitigating any risk of accidental glitches or issues.
Below is a collection of cheat codes for GTA 5. Notably, there are no cheats for increasing money directly, but you can find separate guides on that subject if you’re interested.
