GTA 6 cheats: will there be codes, and why no real "GTA 6 cheat codes" list exists yet

Officially, nobody knows. Rockstar has not published a single GTA 6 cheat code or mentioned them in pre-release materials. Cheats are a series tradition, from GTA III to GTA 5, so the odds are good, but there is no guarantee.

The "full list of GTA 6 cheat codes for PS5 and Xbox" pages already up on other sites are placeholders or fiction: the game is not out yet, so nobody can test any codes.

• Consoles: a controller button combination during play.
• In-game phone: dialing a special number.
• PC: typing a word into the console.
• Cheats disabled trophies and achievements for the rest of the session and did not work in GTA Online.

If GTA 6 keeps cheats, the logic will most likely be similar, but that is our assumption.

In the first days after November 19, players usually find and test codes. As soon as they are confirmed on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, we will publish tables by platform with the effect of each code.

Before the game is even out, "full lists of GTA 6 cheats" are already making the rounds. Here's how to tell you're looking at a fake:

• The button combos match GTA 5. Often these are just old codes with a new label.
• They promise a money cheat. GTA 5 never had one, so "infinite money in GTA 6" is the most common bait.
• They ask you to download something. "Generators", APKs, trainers and "console mods" put your account and device at risk. We don't recommend or publish such programs.
• Videos of "working cheats" before November 19. The game isn't out yet, so nobody can show a real code.

A real code can only be verified in the game itself. That's why we don't publish anything until we've tested it on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

In GTA 5 the same cheat had different combinations on PlayStation and Xbox, because the controller buttons have different names. If GTA 6 has cheats, it will most likely work the same way. After launch we'll make separate tables for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with the effect of each code.

To see how it worked in GTA 5, check our GTA 5 cheats page. Cheat codes don't work online — more on that on our GTA Online cheats page.

Most of what people look for in cheats can be earned legitimately in GTA 6 — and there's already official information on it:

• Losing a wanted level. Police search by your description, so changing clothes, cars and weapons helps. Details on our GTA 6 wanted level page.
• Money. Robberies, selling stolen cars, gang stash houses — in our guide on how to make money in GTA 6.
• Weapons and cars from day one. Ultimate Edition gives named weapons, revolvers and several cars that unlock with the story's chapters — the full contents are on our GTA 6 editions page.
• Trophies. If cheats disable achievements here too, it's better to hold off on them — the list is on our GTA 6 trophies page.
