On PC, your keyboard is the super highway to cheating, but don't worry: if you're punching your cheats in with a gamepad or the in-game phone, we've still got you covered. In addition to PC console commands, you'll button inputs for using PS4, PS5, and Xbox controllers, as well. Disclaimer for those seeking a quick route to money: There's no GTA 5 money cheat. If you're desperate for more GTA cash, though, check out our guide on how to make money in GTA 5. Using cheat codes will also disable trophies and achievements, so you'll probably want a second save if you care about unlocking them.

Since we now know that we won't have GTA 6 until 2025, it's even better that time flies when you're cheating. If you'd prefer to venture even further back to the past while you wait for future mayhem, you can also check out our round-ups of GTA: Vice City cheats, GTA 3 cheats, GTA: San Andreas cheats, and GTA Trilogy cheats.

How to use GTA 5 cheats

How to use GTA 5 cheats

It's super easy to use GTA 5 cheats, especially on PC: You just need to open the in-game command console and drop in a codeword. To bring up GTA 5's console, hit the tilde key (~), or whatever key is directly to the left of the 1 at the top of your keyboard. Type in any of the cheat codes above in all caps just as written and hit enter. Congratulations! You're cheating. Spawn yourself a motorcycle and flaming ammo rounds to celebrate.

If you're using a gamepad, you can enable any desired cheat using the associated button combo. You can also dial any cheat's associated phone number with your in-game phone, regardless of what system you're playing on. If you don't fancy keeping a notepad to hand, just bookmark this page and return whenever you need to remember how to swim faster. 

Can I earn achievements while using GTA 5 cheats?

No. Once you've enabled a GTA 5 cheat, the following conditions will apply:

  • Achievements will be disabled
  • You won't be able to earn higher than Bronze rating for missions

To be safe, you're advised to manually save before messing around with any GTA 5 cheats active, and to reload once you're done.

Is there a GTA 5 money cheat?

No, there is no money cheat for GTA 5—not even in the singleplayer mode. But if you are looking for some quick cash, we've collected up some of the best GTA 5 money making tips around.

Naturally GTA Online is also a cheat code free zone—even if it still struggles with hackers. None of the cheats listed here are available in GTA Online. Nevertheless if you want to make cash in GTA's multiplayer, we've got a detailed GTA Online moneymaking guide that will help. The short version: get yourself the submarine, and do some Cayo Perico heisting. And if you need something to spend that money on, here's our rundown of the fastest cars in GTA Online.

Is there a GTA 5 Lamborghini cheat?

While there are vehicles in GTA 5 inspired by Lamborghini's cars, there aren't any cheats for spawning them. You'll have to earn them the old fashion way. But as mentioned above, our GTA 5 money-making tips can help.
