Looking for a specific cheat? Pick your platform in the selector below and the list adapts: phone number, PC keyword, or the combo drawn with the real controller buttons (△ ○ ✕ □ on PlayStation, A B X Y on Xbox, D-pad arrows). The page remembers your choice for next time. A quick reminder before you start: cheats only work in Story Mode, never in GTA Online.
All GTA 5 cheat codes
On the phone: pull out the character's cell, open the keypad (Contacts, then the call icon) and dial the number as-is, including the 1-999, then place the call.
On a PlayStation controller (PS3, PS4, PS5): enter the combo during gameplay, fairly quickly, outside any menu. Tiles like D-pad Right are D-pad directions.
On an Xbox controller (360, One, Series X|S): enter the combo during gameplay, fairly quickly, outside any menu. Tiles like D-pad Right are D-pad directions.
On PC: open the console with the ~ key (² on a French AZERTY keyboard), type the keyword in uppercase, then press Enter.

How to enter GTA 5 cheats on each platform
Depending on your platform, there are three methods (all single-player only):
- Phone (the easiest, on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC): pull out the character’s phone, open the keypad, dial the number, then call.
- Controller (every console, including the original PS3 and Xbox 360 versions): enter the button combination mid-game.
- PC: open the console with the ~ key (or ² on a French AZERTY keyboard), type the keyword in uppercase, then confirm with Enter.
| Platform | In-game phone | Controller combo | PC console (~ or ²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS3 / Xbox 360 (2013 edition) | No | Yes | No |
| PS4 / Xbox One | Yes | Yes | No |
| PS5 / Xbox Series | Yes | Yes | No |
| PC (Legacy and Enhanced) | Yes | Controller only | Yes |
The phone method doesn’t exist on the very first PS3 and Xbox 360 versions: there, only the controller combo works. On PC, keyboard entry goes through the command console, but a connected controller also accepts the combos. The effects are one-time: they don’t save, and often have to be re-entered. Invincibility, for example, only lasts 5 minutes.
GTA 5 cheats on PS4 and PS5
The combos are the same on PS3, PS4 and PS5. Enter them during gameplay without pausing. If nothing happens, you went too slowly or hit a wrong button: start the sequence over. The three combos PlayStation players use most:
- InvincibilityD-pad Right Cross D-pad Right D-pad Left D-pad Right R1 D-pad Right D-pad Left Cross Triangle
- All weaponsTriangle R2 D-pad Left L1 Cross D-pad Right Triangle D-pad Down Square L1 L1 L1
- Lower wanted levelR1 R1 Circle R2 D-pad Right D-pad Left D-pad Right D-pad Left D-pad Right D-pad Left
The rest is in the list above: show every PlayStation combo.
GTA 5 cheats on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
Same combos on Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, entered the same way. The three most useful:
- InvincibilityD-pad Right A D-pad Right D-pad Left D-pad Right RB D-pad Right D-pad Left A Y
- All weaponsY RT D-pad Left LB A D-pad Right Y D-pad Down X LB LB LB
- Lower wanted levelRB RB B RT D-pad Right D-pad Left D-pad Right D-pad Left D-pad Right D-pad Left
All the others: show every Xbox combo.
GTA 5 cheats on PC
Press ~ (or ² on a French AZERTY keyboard) to open the console, type the code and press Enter. It works the same on the Legacy and Enhanced editions, whatever the launcher (Steam, Epic Games or Rockstar Games Launcher):
- InvincibilityPAINKILLER
- All weaponsTOOLUP
- Lower wanted levelLAWYERUP
- Buzzard helicopterBUZZOFF
Every keyword: show the PC codes.
GTA 5 phone cheats
On PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC, the phone is the easiest method: no combo to memorize, just a number to dial on the character’s keypad.
- Invincibility1-999-724-654-5537
- All weapons1-999-866-587
- Lower wanted level1-999-529-93787
- Buzzard helicopter1-999-289-9633
Every number: show the phone cheats.
Do the cheats work on PS5, Xbox Series and the Enhanced version?
Yes, without the slightest difference. Cheats live in Story Mode, which is identical from one version to the next. Whether you’re playing the original 2013 edition, the version optimized for PS5 and Xbox Series, or the Enhanced upgrade that landed free on PC on March 4, 2025 (ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, faster loading), the same phone numbers, controller combos and PC keywords respond exactly the same way.
Two practical caveats. On newer consoles, the phone is still the simplest and most reliable method. And Enhanced doesn’t add any cheats: the upgrade touches the visuals and online content (Hao’s Special Works vehicles, GTA+), not single-player cheating, which stays modeled on the list above. The one unbreakable rule doesn’t change either: nothing works in GTA Online.
Why there’s no money cheat
It’s the question that comes up most, and the answer is clear: no money cheat exists, not in single-player and not online. The choice is deliberate. In Story Mode, Rockstar built an entire system around earning money legitimately: Michael, Franklin and Trevor’s heists pay out seven-figure scores, and the stock market (the BAWSAQ and LCN indexes) lets you multiply your fortune by speculating, especially after Lester’s assassination missions. A money cheat would have drained that whole system of its meaning.
On the GTA Online side, the stakes are economic: money is the engine of the live-service game, and injecting it through cheats would throw off the balance and the microtransaction market. That’s why cheating there is hunted down and banned.
Cheats and trophies: the rule to know before you cheat
The classic beginner’s trap. Activating a cheat disables achievements and trophies for the current play session. Worse, triggering a cheat during a mission can lock its completion score below 100%.
The good news: this block is not permanent and doesn’t damage your save. Just reload a save made before you used the cheat to get back the ability to unlock trophies and achievements. So the clean method fits in one sentence: save to a separate slot, go wild with the cheats, then reload your clean game whenever you want to make real progress.
A GTA tradition since 2001
Cheat codes aren’t a recent gimmick: they’re part of the series’ DNA. As far back as GTA III in 2001, you activated them with button combinations entered mid-game. Vice City, and then especially San Andreas, burned iconic sequences into players’ memories, from the jetpack to flying vehicles. So the real novelty in GTA 5 isn’t the concept, but the method: dialing a number on the character’s phone, an idea that arrived with the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions.
What about GTA 6?
GTA VI launches on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar still hasn’t confirmed a single cheat. Be wary of the “GTA 6 cheat code” lists already circulating: they’re GTA 5’s codes, copied line for line. Two signals point to a return in single-player, though: cheating has been part of the series’ DNA since GTA III, and GTA 5’s flagship method, dialing a number on the character’s phone, fits the smartphone seen everywhere in the trailers. Our GTA 6 cheat codes page tracks what’s confirmed, and will list every real code with the same button icons as soon as the game is out.

FAQ
Is there a money cheat in GTA 5?
No. Rockstar never included a money cheat, not in Story Mode and not in GTA Online. It's a deliberate choice: the three protagonists build their fortunes through heists and the stock market (BAWSAQ/LCN), not a cheat. In Online, handing out money would break the economy and get you banned.
Do cheat codes work in GTA Online?
No, none of them. Cheats only work in single-player Story Mode. GTA Online runs on Rockstar's servers with anti-cheat protection: any tampering is punished, up to a permanent account ban.
Does using a cheat block my trophies and achievements?
Yes, but only for the current session. Activating a cheat disables trophies and achievements until you reload a save made before you cheated. The workaround: save before you cheat, have your fun, then reload your clean save.
How do I enter a cheat on PS5, PS4 or Xbox?
The easiest way is the phone: pull it out, go to the keypad and dial the cheat's number (for example 1-999-724-654-5537 for invincibility). Otherwise, you can input the matching controller button combo during gameplay.
Do cheats stay active permanently?
No. Most effects are one-time and have to be re-entered. Invincibility, for instance, only lasts 5 minutes. Cheats aren't saved and won't corrupt your game.
Do cheat codes work on PS5 and Xbox Series?
Yes, every Story Mode cheat works identically on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC, including the Enhanced version released free on PC on March 4, 2025. On newer consoles, the phone method is still the easiest. But no cheat works in GTA Online, on any platform.
What is the invincibility cheat in GTA 5?
Dial 1-999-724-654-5537 on the in-game phone, or type PAINKILLER in the PC console. On PlayStation the combo is Right, Cross, Right, Left, Right, R1, Right, Left, Cross, Triangle; on Xbox it's Right, A, Right, Left, Right, RB, Right, Left, A, Y. It lasts 5 minutes, then you have to enter it again.
How do you lose the cops with a cheat in GTA 5?
Use Lower Wanted Level: 1-999-529-93787 on the phone, LAWYERUP on PC, R1, R1, Circle, R2, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left on PlayStation, or RB, RB, B, RT, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left on Xbox. Each use removes one star, so repeat it to clear a five-star wanted level.
What is the GTA 5 cheat for a helicopter?
The Buzzard attack helicopter: 1-999-289-9633 on the phone, BUZZOFF on PC, Circle, Circle, L1, Circle, Circle, Circle, L1, L2, R1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle on PlayStation, or B, B, LB, B, B, B, LB, LT, RB, Y, B, Y on Xbox. It spawns right next to you.
Will there be cheat codes in GTA 6?
Rockstar hasn't confirmed any yet. GTA VI launches on November 19, 2026, and the series has offered cheats since GTA III in 2001, so their return in single-player is likely. The GTA 6 code lists already online are GTA 5's codes copied over. Our GTA 6 cheat codes page tracks what's confirmed and will list the real codes as soon as the game is out.
