Cruising for GTA 5 cheats to take over the streets of Grand Theft Auto? You’ve arrived at your destination.

It’s going on a decade since Grand Theft Auto 5 launched, and while Rockstar Games' has kept regular updates rolling out, a helping hand is always welcome. GTA 5 has loads of cheats available to mix things up and refresh your experience. Whether you want to turn Los Santos into your personal bouncy castle with low gravity or make your fists explosive to move your enemies into a new zip code at mach 3: cheats are the old reliable of ramping up the fun.

And even better, getting GTA 5 cheats inputted is pretty easy. Entering GTA 5 cheats on PS4 and Xbox One is as simple as following patterned button inputs (though few are as memorable as the “left, down, right, up, left, down, right, up” pattern from San Andreas). PC cheats are dead simple, and you’ll just press a key on your keyboard and type a word. Access to the bottomless well of fun is that easy.

As an added bonus, these cheats work with GTA on PS5 and Xbox Series X, letting you rampage around with God mode in a visually and technically enhanced Los Santos. 

So, if you need to drop your Wanted level or spawn in some absurd vehicles for a demolition derby of your very own, read on as we run down all the GTA 5 cheat codes, including details on how to trigger each gameplay tweak for your platform of choice.

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 advise not to save after using cheats in GTA 5 as some are unable to be reversed, while others can be if you enter the cheat code again.

How to open the GTA 5 cheats console on PS5, PS4 and PS3

How to open the GTA 5 cheats console on PC

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.

Is there a GTA 5 money cheat?

Unfortunately, GTA 5 doesn't have any money cheats, you'll have to earn your cash the old-fashioned way. But some of the cheats in this article could make earning money easier, even if they won't immediately bloat your bank balance.

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, though, while explosive punches is certainly one of the most fun.
