GTA 6 Cheats and Cheat Codes — PS5 and Xbox Status

Rockstar has not announced a GTA 6 cheat system, and we have no publicly verifiable working codes to list. Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19, 2026. How cheats worked in GTA 5 does not establish whether they exist or work the same way in GTA 6.

How verified codes would be added

If GTA 6 includes cheats and we can test them after release, this page will add verified entries. There is no guaranteed date for the first list. Each entry would include:

If a code stops working after a patch, it gets marked as such with the date it stopped, rather than quietly left in the list. A cheat list is only useful if you can tell how old it is.

How cheats worked in GTA 5

Before launch, this is the most useful reference. Everything below is about Grand Theft Auto V — it is not a statement about GTA 6, and Rockstar has confirmed nothing about how cheats will work in the new game.

Console input: button combinations. On PlayStation and Xbox versions of GTA 5, cheats were entered as sequences of controller buttons pressed during normal gameplay — a specific order of face buttons, shoulder buttons and d-pad directions, entered quickly enough to register as one string. There was no text entry.

PC input: the console. The PC version of GTA 5 added a text console, opened with the tilde key (~), where cheats were typed as words rather than entered as button presses. This is why PC cheat lists and console cheat lists for GTA 5 look nothing alike despite doing the same things.

Cheats disabled achievements and trophies. In GTA 5, entering any cheat switched off achievements and trophies for that play session. Cheats were also not saved — reloading cleared them, and they had to be re-entered.

Cheats never worked in GTA Online. The single-player cheat system did not exist in the online mode. Attempting to cheat online meant third-party software, which was and remains a bannable offence.

What is known about GTA 6 cheats

How to assess a claimed GTA 6 cheat list

Before relying on a list, check what supports it:

• Reused GTA 5 codes. Matching a known GTA 5 input only tells you where the code came from; it does not demonstrate that it works in GTA 6.
• Codes without a source. A string of buttons or letters needs a named source and a reproducible test, including the platform and game version.

A claim to have tested a code is not enough on its own. This page will distinguish an official announcement, a reported claim and a code we have actually tested.

What is still unknown

• Whether GTA 6 includes a single-player cheat system at all.
• The input method on either console platform.
• Whether cheats affect trophies, achievements, or save files.
• Anything about cheats and the online component, which remains unannounced.
• Whether a PC version — still unannounced — would carry a text console the way GTA 5’s did.
