GTA 5 Cheat Codes — All Platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X, PC)
Let's start with the game you're probably playing right now. GTA 5's cheat system is the most refined in the franchise, and these codes work on both legacy consoles and the Enhanced Edition on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
| Cheat Name | PS5 Input | Xbox Series X Input | PC Command | Fun Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Invincibility (5 min) | →, X, →, ←, →, R1, →, ←, X, △ | →, A, →, ←, →, RB, →, ←, A, Y | PAINKILLER | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Max Health & Armor | ○, L1, △, R2, X, □, ○, →, □, L1, L1, L1 | B, LB, Y, RT, A, X, B, →, X, LB, LB, LB | TURTLE | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Super Jump | ←, ←, △, △, →, →, ←, →, □, R1, R2 | ←, ←, Y, Y, →, →, ←, →, X, RB, RT | HOPTOIT | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |

| Lower Wanted Level | R1, R1, ○, R2, →, ←, →, ←, →, ← | RB, RB, B, RT, →, ←, →, ←, →, ← | LAWYERUP | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Raise Wanted Level | R1, R1, ○, R2, ←, →, ←, →, ←, → | RB, RB, B, RT, ←, →, ←, →, ←, → | FUGITIVE | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
⚠️ Critical Warning: Activating any GTA 5 cheat code disables trophies/achievements for that play session. Save your game before using cheats. Codes don't work in GTA Online — you'll be kicked immediately.
How to Activate GTA 5 Cheats
PS5/Xbox: Pause the game and enter the button sequence quickly. You'll see a confirmation message if done correctly.
PC: Press the tilde key (~) to open the console, type the command, and hit Enter. Case doesn't matter.
GTA San Andreas Cheat Codes — The Legend
San Andreas has the most iconic cheat code collection in gaming history. These codes work on the Definitive Edition available on modern platforms.
| Cheat Name | PS5 Input | Xbox Series X Input | PC Command | Fun Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jetpack | ←, →, L1, L2, R1, R2, ↑, ↓, ←, → | ←, →, LB, LT, RB, RT, ↑, ↓, ←, → | ROCKETMAN | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Infinite Health | ↓, X, →, ←, →, R1, →, ↓, ↑, △ | ↓, A, →, ←, →, RB, →, ↓, ↑, Y | BAGUVIX | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Spawn Hydra Jet | △, △, □, ○, X, L1, L1, ↓, ↑ | Y, Y, X, B, A, LB, LB, ↓, ↑ | JUMPJET | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Chaos Mode | L2, →, L1, △, →, →, R1, L1, →, L1, L1, L1 | LT, →, LB, Y, →, →, RB, LB, →, LB, LB, LB | STATEOFEMERGENCY | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
San Andreas codes are more forgiving than modern GTA games. You can save with cheats active, but some mission triggers break if you're using vehicle spawn codes. I've tested this extensively — always keep a clean save file.
GTA IV Cheat Codes — The Forgotten Middle Child
GTA IV introduced phone dial cheats, which carried over to later games. These work on backward compatible Xbox versions and PC.
| Cheat Name | Phone Number (All Platforms) | Fun Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Health & Armor | 482-555-0100 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Weapons Tier 1 | 486-555-0150 | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Spawn Annihilator | 359-555-0100 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Remove Wanted Level | 267-555-0100 | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Open Niko's phone with the D-pad up button, navigate to the keypad, and dial. The phone stays in your contacts for quick access.
GTA Vice City Cheat Codes — The '80s Arsenal
Vice City's cheat codes are pure nostalgia. The Definitive Edition on modern consoles uses the same inputs as the original.
| Cheat Name | PS5 Input | Xbox Input | PC Command |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Health | R1, R2, L1, ○, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ | RB, RT, LB, B, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ | ASPIRINE |
| All Weapons | R1, R2, L1, R2, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ | RB, RT, LB, RT, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ | THUGSTOOLS |
| Flying Cars | →, R2, ○, R1, L2, ↓, L1, R1 | →, RT, B, RB, LT, ↓, LB, RB | COMEFLYWITHME |
GTA III Cheat Codes — Where It All Started
The original 3D GTA that launched the cheat code tradition. These codes established the pattern Rockstar would follow for two decades.
| Cheat Name | PS5 Input (Definitive Edition) | PC Command |
|---|---|---|
| Full Health | R2, R2, L1, R1, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ | GESUNDHEIT |
| All Weapons | R2, R2, L1, R2, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑ | GUNSGUNSGUNS |
| Tank (Rhino) | ○, ○, ○, ○, ○, ○, R1, L2, L1, △, ○, △ | GIVEUSATANK |
Best Cheat Combos Across All GTA Games
Here's where the real fun starts. Stacking cheats creates chaos most players never experience.
GTA 5: Maximum Mayhem
- Activate Invincibility
- Activate Explosive Melee Attacks
- Activate Super Jump
- Spawn Buzzard, fly to downtown Los Santos
- Raise Wanted Level to 5 stars
You're now an invincible flying explosive punching machine against the entire LSPD. This is the GTA endgame.
GTA San Andreas: Flying Chaos
- Spawn Jetpack
- Activate Chaos Mode
- Infinite Health
- Flying Cars cheat
Watch the entire city descend into absolute pandemonium while you hover above in your jetpack. Pure art.
GTA Vice City: '80s Apocalypse
- All Weapons
- Full Health
- Flying Cars
- Faster Gameplay Speed
The combination of flying cars and increased game speed creates a surreal neon fever dream.
Side Effects You Need to Know
Trophies/Achievements: Disabled in GTA IV and GTA 5 the moment you enter a cheat. You can re-enable them by reloading a clean save. San Andreas and earlier games don't track achievements on modern platforms, so cheat freely.
Autosave Corruption: GTA 5 won't autosave with cheats active. Manual saves work fine, but I recommend keeping one clean file always.
Online Compatibility: Zero. Don't even try. GTA Online has server-side detection that'll boot you instantly. These codes are strictly for single-player sandbox sessions.
Mission Glitches: Some San Andreas missions break with vehicle spawn cheats active. If a mission trigger isn't working, reload without cheats.
Will GTA 6 Have Cheat Codes?
Rockstar hasn't confirmed the cheat system for GTA 6 yet. Based on their pattern from GTA III through GTA 5, I'm expecting cheats to return — but probably not on day one. GTA 5 launched with a full cheat suite, and it's part of the franchise DNA at this point.
What I'm watching for: Director Mode integration (like GTA 5) and potentially new cheats specific to Leonida's swamp environments and dual-protagonist mechanics. The moment Rockstar confirms anything, you'll find it here first.

FAQ — All GTA Cheat Codes Every Game
Do cheat codes disable trophies in GTA 5?
Yes. The moment you activate any cheat code in GTA 5, trophies and achievements are disabled for that session. Reload a save file to re-enable them. The game warns you before your first cheat activation.
Can you use cheat codes in GTA Online?
No. Cheat codes don't work in GTA Online and attempting to use exploits will get you kicked or banned. All cheats are single-player only across every GTA game.
What's the fastest way to enter cheat codes on console?
Pause the game first (except GTA IV phone cheats). Enter the button sequence quickly but accurately — most codes have a 5-second window. If it doesn't work, you probably hit a wrong button. Try again slower.
Do GTA San Andreas cheats corrupt your save file?
Not directly, but some cheats like Chaos Mode can make missions impossible to complete. Always keep multiple save slots. The Definitive Edition is more stable than the original PS2 version, which had genuine save corruption issues with certain cheat combinations.
Are there money cheat codes in any GTA game?
No. Rockstar has never included a money cheat in any mainline GTA game from GTA III onward. The closest you'll get is infinite health and weapons, which save you money on armor and ammo. For actual money generation, you need to use in-game missions and businesses.
