With so many GTA 5 cheats available, which ones should you try out first? We recommend taking a look at the vehicle cheats, as they can really open up gameplay. In particular, flying vehicles are a lot of fun in GTA 5, especially if you activate a parachute. Generally, try to use cheats one or two at a time, so that you can appreciate the effects of each. Let’s be honest though, causing absolute chaos can be fun too.
GTA5cheats can be used to spawn in everything from weapons and armor to vehicles and character buffs. Whether you’re new to the game, or playing for the 100th time, cheat codes can be a great way to keep things fresh as you explore the city.
InputtingGTA 5cheats and codes is pretty easy, even for those new to the game’s cheat system. EnteringGTA 5cheats onPS5andXbox Series Xis as simple as pressing a series of buttons in a specific order. PC cheats are dead simple too: you just press a key on your keyboard and then type a specific word.
If you’ve yet to upgrade to a new console, worry not, asGTA 5cheats also work on PS4 and Xbox One. So, if you need to drop your wanted level or spawn in somehigh–end GTA 5 supercars, read on as we run through all the cheat codes in the game and give you tips for implementing them on your platform of choice.

What are the best GTA 5 cheats?
It depends on your personal preference but our favorite GTA 5 cheat is the God mode cheat, which allows you to be invincible for five minutes at a time. We find the lower your wanted level cheat to be the most useful and practical. If you’re feeling impractical, however, we strongly recommend explosive punches (though, you may well find your incandescent fists lead to a rapid increase in your wanted level).
How to use GTA 5 cheats
The way you input cheats in GTA 5 is different on each platform and will depend on which kind of gamepad or input method you’re using. Keep it in mind that activating cheats will make you incapable of popping achievements or trophies on your given platform. Here’s a handy list so you don’t get lost.
We advisenot to save after using cheats in GTA 5as some are unable to be reversed, while others can be if you enter the cheat code again.
If you’re playing with a PlayStation controller (including theDualShock 4andDualSense) then you don’t need to specifically open a cheats box. Instead, when in-game, you’ll just have to follow the inputs listed below to the best of your ability. Once you finish the sequence the cheat should activate.
The same goes if you’re playing GTA 5 with anXbox wireless controlleron Xbox Series X|S, One, or 360.
On PC you’ll need to hit the tilde key on your keyboard when in-game to open the cheats console. The key looks like this ‘~’ and should be hiding underneath the ‘ESC’ button on your keyboard. If you’re in a region outside the US, hit whichever button is below the ESC key. Hitting this key will open up the developer console where you can input cheats.
