How to enter cheats in GTA 5 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3

GTA 5 brought a few new ways to input cheats, on top of the good old fashioned controller button-mashing codes. On consoles, you can input those controller codes or, alternatively, whip out the in-game cell phone to dial in a number that activates the cheat instead.

On PC, you can do either of those things and also use console commands – the commands are actually the words spelled out by the phone numbers, which is a nice touch (giving you things like 1-999-LAWYERUP). Here’s a quick rundown of how to enter cheats on each platform.

How to enter cheats in GTA 5 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3

• PS4 and PS3 – Follow the button prompts in the tables below on controller, or press Up to bring up the cell phone and call the respective number.
• Xbox One and Xbox 360 – Follow the button prompts in the tables below on controller, or press Up to bring up the cell phone and call the respective number.
• PC – Follow the button prompts in the tables below on controller, or press the Up key to bring up the cell phone and call the respective number, or press the key to the left of 1 on your keyboard (¬ in the UK or ~ on a US keyboard) to use console commands. Remember to use all capital letters and hit enter when done.

There’s a decent range of cheats available for GTA 5 players, but it’s worth noting that some classics are missing – there’s no way to spawn yourself a tank for instance, plus no actual, official money cheat (despite what a lot of people will tell you); there’s only one cheat for weapons, unlike the two weapon-focused GTA 4 cheats for instance, and there’s only a short list of vehicles you can get your hands on.

Otherwise, there a couple of final things to bear in mind: first, you won’t be able unlock achievements or trophies, or get anything other than a Bronze rating on missions, in a session where cheats have been activated. Second, all of these cheats are purely offline only – cheats are disabled in GTA Online, due to the pretty obvious disrupted effect they’d otherwise have!
