Hungry for some GTA 5 cheats? Well good news, we've got the entire buffet lined up for you. If you're looking to spice up your Los Santos adventure, GTA 5's extensive cheat options will let you rain down chaos and destruction, and then force the cops to look the other way. Or force the cops to look directly at you, but you don't care because you're invulnerable and can make cars and guns materialise out of thin air. You can do a lot, is the point.

GTA 6
Below we've rounded up every GTA 5 cheat that exists, along with the many ways you can apply them. We've kept the PC console commands at the top, as they're the easiest to enter, but—if you prefer playing with a controller—we've also supplied the input codes for Xbox and PS4 pads. Or you can just use your phone to dial-a-cheat.
If you're searching for a GTA 5 money cheat, then unfortunately you're out of luck. Unsurprisingly, none of these codes will work in GTA Online, where cheating is not allowed for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, if you're looking to make oodles of cash for GTA's multiplayer, we've got an extremely detailed GTA Online moneymaking guide that should help kickstart your criminal empire. You can also find the fastest cars in GTA Online here.
Given that we're unlikely to be seeing GTA 6 for a long, long time, it's still worth maxing out your fun in GTA 5 with the help of these cheats. But if you'd prefer to venture even further back to the past, you can also check out our round-ups of GTA Vice City cheats and GTA San Andreas cheats.
How to use GTA 5 cheat codes
Using cheat codes in GTA 5 is super easy. You'll just need to remember the code word. If you don't fancy keeping a notepad to hand, just bookmark this page and return whenever you need to remember how to swim faster.
To bring up GTA 5's console, hit the tilde key (~), or whatever key is directly to the left of the 1 at the top of your keyboard. Type in any of the cheat codes below in all caps just as written. Hit enter and you've now become an official GTA 5 cheater. Spawn yourself a motorcycle and flaming ammo rounds if you like! We won't judge.

GTA 5 cheats: Director mode
Launch director mode in the Rockstar Editor: JRTALENT
In director mode you can choose an NPC to play as and combine with any other cheats as needed. Good to use for making joke trailers, memes, or machinima shows. Get creative!
GTA 5 cheats: Console controller codes
If you happen to be playing GTA 5 with a controller on your PC, or on a console, these codes are an alternate way to enter them. They're a bit harder to remember than the text cheat codes above but maybe your muscle memory is so good that you prefer the Konami Code style of cheat entry.
For the Xbox and PlayStation controller versions of each code, just enter the sequence of buttons in relatively quick succession and you'll get an on-screen notification that you've succeeded. To use the phone numbers, just pull out your character's cell and dial the code provided.
