GTA 5 cheats: Full list of codes for Xbox, PS5, PS4 and PC

If you're already a veteran of the game, there are plenty of ways you can tweak it for a novel experience. If you're playing on PC, you can explore the plethora of mods made by fans.

Or you can cheat.

Cheating is Grand Theft Auto tradition. Many gamers of a certain age look back to spawning the jetpack in 2004's San Andreas with heavy nostalgia. So what can we do in this newer version of the same city? Let's take a look at the full list of cheat codes for GTA5.

Best GTA 5 cheat codes

The debate will run until the end of days surrounding the best GTA 5 cheat, but we're big fans of the Buzzard attack chopper. Armed with miniguns and rocket pads, it's one of the best ways to cause chaos and have some mindless fun in the world.

While obtaining max health and armour is another useful cheat that can be inputted at any time, knowing how to lower your wanted level is also incredibly helpful to get out of a jam.

These cheats will make sure you’re not running out of health, ammo, armour or weapons, and can keep those pesky cops away when they take offence to you eliminating half the population of Los Santos - or will even let you goad them into chasing you, just to prove you are unstoppable.

For good measure, we have included a parachute cheat code - because you never know when you might need one!

Whichever platform you’re wreaking havoc on, bring up the phone and enter the listed number of your cheat of choice. These are the ones you'll want to know about:

• 1-999-887-853 [1-999-TURTLE] – Max Health and Armour
• 1-999-866-587 [1-999-TOOLUP] – Weapons and Ammo cheat
• 1-999-3844-8483 [1-999-FUGITIVE] – Raise Wanted Level
• 1-999-5299-3787 [1-999-LAWYERUP] – Lower Wanted Level
• 1-999-759-3483 [1-999-SKYDIVE] – Parachute cheat

Stuck in a tight spot? These are also some handy ones that we picked in our video:

• 1-999-727-4348 [1-999-RAPIDGT] - Spawn a sports car
• 1-999-762-538 [1-999-ROCKET] - Spawn a motorbike
• 1-999-2899-633 [1-999-BUZZOFF] - Spawn a helicopter
• 1-999-332-3393 [1-999-DEADEYE] - Gain slow-motion aim
• 1-999-7246-545-537 [1-999-PAINKILLER] - Become invincible

How to use GTA 5 cheat codes

While most GTA games simply allow you to type in a cheat code while your character is walking around, GTA 5 has a few different ideas to mix up that formula. Depending on which platform you're playing on, here's how to use GTA 5 cheat codes:

• On Xbox, PC or PlayStation, input the code on your controller at any time while you're wandering around the game world.
• On PC, you can press one keyboard button (¬ in the UK or ~ in the USA) and then type in the cheat code on your keyboard.
• On Xbox, PC or PlayStation, you can also enter cheat codes on the in-game phone. Press up on your D-pad to bring up the phone, then enter the special code.
• Activate the Black Cellphone cheat by dialling 1-999-367-3767, for example. This will cause a random explosion to occur somewhere overhead, change your phone's colour, and make it a touch bigger than normal.

Is there a GTA 5 money cheat?

Afraid not. There's no money cheat code in GTA 5. The developers from Rockstar like players to have some fun with cheating, but they have not provided a way to make a ton of free cash, which is not in the least bit surprising.

This applies to both single-player and multiplayer, with no GTA money cheat available for either.

While that makes sense for GTA Online considering that's the big incentive for the mode and you are playing against others, it is an odd omission from the single-player.

Previous games like San Andreas featured a cheat code to unlock $250,000, which could then be repeated endlessly. If Rockstar decides to roll out a money cheat, we'll make sure to update this piece.

In the meantime, there is an infinite money hack workaround that is worth trying out to get some extra cash. Check out this video courtesy of IGN for the details below:

Grand Theft Auto 5 is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
