It's the game that keeps on giving, literally. Grand Theft Auto 5 has been re-released countless times since it first dropped a decade ago, and it's still more alive than ever.
And, with GTA 6 still a speck on the horizon, we may as well carry on indulging. While there are a good few GTA 5 mods to play around with, what about good old fashioned GTA 5 cheats?
Fear not, because there are plenty of codes to use without resorting to modding the game. We'd be disappointed if this weren't the case, as it's a tradition of the franchise. Remember spawning the jetpack whenever you got bored in San Andreas on the Ps2? Classic.
Check out the video above for a few of the cheats in GTA 5 – but if none of them are of interest, there's plenty more down below.
So, keep on reading for our extensive list of cheats, and don't worry about the platform because they'll work on PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. We'll also tell you how to use them on each console.
Let's get started then.

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:
More like this
- 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.
