There are no confirmed GTA 6 cheat codes yet. Rockstar Games has not published a single cheat for PS5 or Xbox, and it has not said whether the game will have cheats at all. Any list you see online right now, with button combinations for weapons, cars or wanted levels, is guesswork at best and made up at worst.
That will change when GTA 6 launches on November 19. Until then, here is what we actually know, how cheats worked in GTA V, and how to avoid the fake lists and scams that are already doing the rounds.
Does GTA 6 have cheat codes?
Nobody outside Rockstar knows for sure. The developer has not mentioned cheats in any trailer, store listing or official post, and none of the game’s pre-release coverage has shown them in action.
History is on the side of fans, though. Cheat codes have been part of nearly every mainline GTA game, from the 3D era through to GTA V, and Red Dead Redemption 2 had them too. It would be a surprise if Rockstar dropped them completely, but until the game is out, it is not confirmed.
How cheats worked in GTA V
GTA V is the best guide to what GTA 6 might do. It gave players three ways to enter cheats.
| Method | How it worked |
|---|---|
| Button combinations | Entered on the controller during play, on PlayStation and Xbox |
| In-game phone | Dialling special numbers that started with 1-999, on any platform |
| PC cheat console | Pressing the tilde key and typing the cheat name |
Cheats in GTA V also came with rules. You could still save your game with a cheat active, but trophies and achievements were turned off while it was in use, according to Rockstar Support. Entering a code again usually switched the cheat off, and reloading a save cleared them all.

How to spot a fake GTA 6 cheat list
Search for GTA 6 cheats today and you will find dozens of pages claiming to have the full list. They cannot all be right, and right now, none of them can be confirmed. These are the warning signs:
- Phone numbers starting with 1-999. That was GTA V’s format. A list using it for GTA 6 has most likely just copied the old game.
- Button combos identical to GTA V guides. Compare a few, and you will often find they match exactly.
- A PC section. GTA 6 is launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and Rockstar has not announced a PC version.
- No mention of testing. A real list should say when and on which platform the codes were checked.
Be careful with GTA 6 cheat tools and mod menus
Fake lists waste your time. Fake downloads can do real damage. There is no released game for a trainer, mod menu or “cheat tool” to work on, so any site offering one before launch is not giving you what it says.
These files are a common way to spread malware that steals saved passwords and account logins. The safest rule is simple: do not download anything that claims to unlock GTA 6 features before the game is out, and never enter your PlayStation, Xbox or Rockstar login on a third-party site.
When will we know the real GTA 6 cheats?
Within hours of launch, if they exist. Players found GTA V’s codes quickly, and with GTA 6 unlocking in New Zealand first, the earliest players will be testing them before much of the world can even start. Our guide to GTA 6 unlock times for every region shows when that happens where you are.
If cheats do turn off trophies again, it is worth planning around that if you care about the platinum. We covered what is known about GTA 6 trophies so far. We will update this page with every confirmed GTA 6 cheat code once the game is out and the codes have been tested.
