The streets of Los Santos are yours to rule with the help of our GTA 5 cheats list.
The fifth game has fewer cheat codes than some earlier GTA games, but there are still lots of ways to get up to mischief and fine-tune your experience. You can rocket down the highway without any fear of cops tailing you if you want. You can leap like a superhero by turning on moon gravity. You can turn your car tires slippery or summon yourself the ride of your dreams—whether it be a garbage truck or a hot rod. Here are all the GTA 5 cheats for you to use and abuse for your pleasure. 

If you hadn't heard, GTA 5 is the current free Epic Store game. Head over to grab it before May 21st, 2020 if you're still looking to take your first spin around Vinewood.

We've kept the PC console commands at the top, but—if you prefer playing with a controller—we've also supplied the input codes for Xbox and PS4 pads, as well as the easy-to-use phone codes, further down the page. They're a bit harder to remember than the PC commands, but they work the same as they do on consoles. 

Naturally, none of these codes work in GTA Online. But if you're wondering how to make wads of cash in the game's multiplayer component, we have an extremely detailed moneymaking guide for GTA Online, and a GTA Casino guide that explains how to win big in the Diamond Casino and Resort. You can also find the fastest cars in GTA Online here.

We won't be getting GTA 6 any time soon, so there's still plenty of time to max out your fun in GTA 5 with the help of these handy cheat codes.

How to use GTA 5 cheat codes

Fortunately 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: Controller commands

If you happen to be playing GTA 5 with a controller on your PC, these codes are an alternate way to enter them. They're a bit harder to remember than the console commands 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.

There's no such thing as a GTA 5 money cheat, though at the link we give you some tips on how to earn money in GTA Online as quickly as possible. Rockstar firmly doesn't allow for such cheats in GTA Online: "Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing. It also bears mentioning that because game mods are by definition unauthorized, they may be broken by technical updates, cause instability, or affect your game in other unforeseen ways."
