Cheat codes have been a cornerstone of the Grand Theft Auto franchise since the 1997 original. From spawning supercars to enabling invincibility and low gravity, cheat inputs allow players to experiment across Vice City and Leonida.
Expected Cheat Categories in GTA 6
Based on Rockstar Games' historical cheat systems, expect the following categories at launch:
- Player Effects: Invincibility (5-minute timer), Super Jump, Fast Run, Max Health & Armor, Lower Wanted Level, Raise Wanted Level.
- Weapon & Ammo Spawns: Heavy Weapons Pack, Explosive Ammo, Flame Rounds, Slow-Motion Aiming.
- Vehicle Spawns: Supercars, Helicopters, Stunt Planes, Off-Road Buggies, Dirt Bikes, Tanks.
- World & Weather Controls: Change Weather (Sunny, Rain, Thunderstorm), Moon Gravity, Drifting Cars, Slow Motion.
How Cheat Codes Work in Modern GTA Games
Rockstar typically implements two distinct ways to trigger cheats:
- Controller Button Sequences: Fast button combinations entered directly during gameplay (e.g.
Right, L1, Down, R1, Left, Left, R1, L1, L2, Square). - In-Game Phone Dialing: Dialing specific fictional 1-999 phone numbers using Jason or Lucia's smartphone in-game.
Important: Trophies and Achievements
Whenever you activate a cheat code in GTA 6, Trophies (PS5) and Achievements (Xbox) will be disabled for that gameplay session. We recommend creating a separate "Cheat Save File" if you want to cause chaos without affecting your main story completion stats.
