The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the few to retain cheat codes over the years, which is one of the reasons I’ve stuck with the series for so long. Rockstar knows what’s up.
Below is a list of cheats that can be used in the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5. There are three ways to input cheats, but here we’ll be focusing on two methods: Inputting via the command prompt and old-school cheat inputs.
Do note: Achievements are disabled for that play session if you have cheats enabled.
You can input the codeword cheats by pressing the tilde key (~) on your keyboard while in-game to bring up the command prompt. Simply type in the cheat and press enter to activate.
The old-school cheat inputs can be put in during gameplay, but they must be done quickly. In the table below, the Xbox 360 controller inputs are listed first, with the PlayStation 3 inputs listed second.
