GTA 6 cheats: will there be cheat codes? What we know, plus the series' classic cheats
Will GTA 6 have cheats for invincibility, weapons or clearing your wanted level? What we know, how cheats worked in GTA V, San Andreas and Vice City, and which ones will probably return.
If you’ve played any GTA, you’ve almost certainly used a cheat: invincibility, free weapons or shaking off the police. Will GTA 6 have cheats? Here’s what we know a week before launch.
Does GTA 6 have cheats?
Rockstar hasn’t confirmed it yet. There’s no official list of codes, and nobody will know until people start playing on November 19.
What we do know is that every main GTA game has had cheats, from the original in 1997 to GTA V. So they’ll most likely return. As soon as the real GTA 6 cheats are discovered, we’ll post them here.
⚠️ Beware of fake lists. Videos and sites with “GTA 6 cheats” are already circulating. Right now they’re made up: nobody has played the full game.
How cheats worked in GTA V
GTA V had three ways to enter cheats:
- Controller button combinations.
- Calling phone numbers from your character’s cell phone.
- Typing words into the command console on PC.
GTA 6 will most likely keep the phone method, since the phone is central to the game.
The most-used GTA V cheats (by phone)
| Cheat | Phone number | PC word |
|---|---|---|
| Invincibility (5 minutes) | 1-999-724-654-5537 | PAINKILLER |
| Max health and armor | 1-999-887-853 | TURTLE |
| Weapons and ammo | 1-999-8665-87 | TOOLUP |
| Lower wanted level | 1-999-5299-3787 | LAWYERUP |
| Raise wanted level | 1-999-3844-8483 | FUGITIVE |
| Slow-motion aim | 1-999-332-3393 | DEADEYE |
| Spawn a Buzzard helicopter | 1-999-289-9633 | BUZZOFF |
Important: in GTA V, using cheats disabled achievements and trophies for that session. GTA 6 will probably do the same, so save before using them.
The legendary cheats from other GTAs
Some codes became so famous they’re part of internet culture:
- HESOYAM (San Andreas): health, armor and $250,000.
- ASPIRINE (Vice City): full health.
- THUGSTOOLS (Vice City): a weapons pack.
- LEAVEMEALONE (Vice City): bye-bye, police.
Will GTA 6 nod to them? With Vice City back, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Not cheats, but they’ll help
GTA 6 has new mechanics that can get you out of trouble without cheating:
- Changing clothes so the police don’t recognize you.
- Dead Eye-style aiming in slow motion.
- Eating to restore health.
We explain them in GTA 6 beginner tips.
And about “infinite money” tricks…
When GTA V launched, lots of money duplication glitches appeared in online mode, and Rockstar ended up banning accounts. If tricks like that appear in GTA 6, stick to single-player, and be wary of any site that asks for your account or password in exchange for free money: it’s a scam.
We’ll update this article with the real GTA 6 cheats as soon as they’re discovered.
