GTA 5 cheats

GTA 5 has 34 story mode cheats, plus two phone-only extras: invincibility, weapons, wanted level up and down, super jump, slow motion, vehicle spawns and more. On PlayStation and Xbox you enter them as button combinations or dial them on the in-game phone; on PC you can also type a word into the cheat console. The full list is below, with PlayStation, Xbox, PC and phone inputs for each. Cheats switch off trophies and achievements for that session only, they do nothing in GTA Online, and there is no money cheat.

We checked every code against at least two independent guides (Eurogamer, IGN, GameSpot, GamesRadar+, PC Gamer, Polygon, GTABase, Digital Trends and the GTA Wiki). Where those guides disagree, the note under the table says so. Waiting on the next game instead? Our GTA 6 cheats tracker lists codes only once they are verified.

How to enter GTA 5 cheats#

• Controller (PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S): enter the button combination quickly during normal play, using the D-pad for the directions. A short confirmation appears on screen when it works.
• Phone (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC): press Up on the D-pad (the Up arrow on PC) to bring out the phone, open Contacts, press Square on PlayStation or X on Xbox to open the keypad, dial the number and call it. The original PS3 and Xbox 360 versions have no phone cheats.
• PC cheat console: press the key to the left of 1 (tilde, ~, on a US keyboard), type the word in capitals and press Enter.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions use exactly the same inputs as PS4 and Xbox One, so the tables below cover every console. Some cheats are blocked during missions or in certain areas; the game then shows "Cheat Denied". Entering most cheats a second time turns them off.

Notes on this table:

• Super jump on PlayStation: most guides (GameSpot, GamesRadar+, GTABase, Digital Trends, IGN) list the code above, which mirrors the Xbox version button for button. Eurogamer and Polygon list a different PlayStation sequence (L2, L2, Square, Circle, Circle, L2, Square, Square, Left, Right, X). If one does not work for you, try the other, or use the phone number.
• Fast run and drunk mode phone numbers: guides split here. IGN, GameSpot, GamesRadar+, PC Gamer and GTABase give 1-999-228-8463 for fast run, while the GTA Wiki, Eurogamer and Polygon give 1-999-228-2463, the digits that spell CATCHME on a phone keypad. For drunk mode, most guides give 1-999-547-861, while the GTA Wiki, Eurogamer and Polygon give 1-999-547-867, which spells LIQUOR. We list the majority number; if it fails, dial the other. The button codes and PC words for both cheats are not disputed.
• Invincibility lasts five minutes and can be entered again when it runs out. It cannot be activated during missions, per GTABase.

Kraken (submarine)	None	None	BUBBLES	1-999-282-2537

Notes on this table:

• Rapid GT: GameSpot, GamesRadar+, GTABase and Digital Trends start the code with a double R2 (RT on Xbox), as above. Eurogamer, IGN and Polygon list it with a single R2 (RT). The longer version contains the shorter one, so entering it as shown covers both readings.
• Sanchez on PlayStation: Eurogamer and Polygon print the BMX code for the Sanchez, which looks like a copy error. Every other guide we checked, including IGN, GameSpot and GTABase, gives the code above, which matches the Xbox version.
• Dodo, Duke O'Death and Kraken have no button code. They work only through the phone or the PC console, only on PS4, Xbox One, PC and later versions, and only after you unlock them: the Sea Plane random event for the Dodo, the Duel random event for the Duke O'Death, and the Wildlife Photography Challenge for the Kraken.

Phone-only extras#

Effect	Phone number
Director Mode	1-999-578-25368
Black cellphone (changes the phone's look; guides also report an explosion near the player)	1-999-367-3767

Director Mode can also be opened from the Interaction Menu in story mode, per IGN.

Rules every GTA 5 cheat follows#

• Story mode only. Cheats do not work in GTA Online on any platform.
• Trophies and achievements are off for the session. Rockstar's support site says achievements are "temporarily disabled" while cheats are used. Restart the game or reload a save and you can earn them again. Missions completed in a cheat session also cannot score above a bronze medal, according to Eurogamer and Polygon.
• Saving still works, but cheats are not saved. Rockstar says saving is allowed with cheats on, and that reloading a save or rebooting the console resets all cheats. The phone does not store numbers either, so you dial them again each time. GTABase notes that pressing * on the keypad redials the last cheat.
• Starting a mission turns off-mission cheats off. That is also from Rockstar's support page.
• No money cheat, no tank. Eurogamer, IGN and Polygon all confirm GTA 5 has no money cheat, and no code spawns a tank.

GTA 6 cheats#

As of October 29, 2026, Rockstar has not published any GTA 6 cheat codes. The game unlocks on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Our GTA 6 cheats tracker will list codes per platform once they are verified in the released game.
