GTA Cheat Codes: GTA 5, San Andreas, Vice City & More

Find GTA cheat codes for weapons, health, vehicles and more. Start with GTA 5 phone numbers, PC commands and common PlayStation and Xbox button combinations, or jump to GTA 4, San Andreas, Vice City and GTA III. This guide also includes selected cheats for Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, Chinatown Wars and GTA 2, plus the current status of GTA 6 cheats.

Choose your game below to find the cheats and input method you need. Codes vary by title and platform, so check the instructions before entering them.

On a phone, swipe wide tables sideways to see every column. Controller button combinations wrap onto multiple lines.

Before using any code: make a separate manual save. Keep your mission-progress save untouched, especially in the older games, where some world-changing effects can persist after saving.

GTA 6 Cheat Codes: Release Date and Upcoming Updates

GTA 6 has not been released yet. Rockstar’s official GTA VI page lists a scheduled release date of November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No GTA 6 cheat codes have been reliably confirmed for this guide. See the official page in the references below.

We’ll add GTA 6 cheat codes as soon as they can be verified, including each code’s effect, supported platforms, input instructions and restrictions. After launch, we’ll keep this section updated as new codes are discovered and verified.

Bookmark this page and check back at launch for the latest confirmed GTA 6 cheats. Until then, find cheat codes for GTA 5, GTA 4, San Andreas and other GTA games below.

GTA 5 Cheat Codes for PS5, PS4, Xbox and PC

GTA 5, also written as GTA V, uses the same phone cheats on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. They work in Story Mode only, not GTA Online. On PS3 and Xbox 360, use controller combinations instead: those releases do not support phone cheats. Enter phone numbers on your character’s in-game phone.

How to Enter Cheat Codes in GTA 5

1. Phone: open the character’s phone, choose Contacts, open the dial pad and enter the number. Use Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox or Space on PC to access the dial pad from Contacts; follow the on-screen prompt to place the call.
2. PC keyboard: open the cheat console with the tilde key (~, usually below Esc on a US keyboard), type the word code and press Enter.
3. Controller: enter the full button sequence during live gameplay. Use the D-pad for directions, not the analog stick.

Try codes during free roam after the opening sequence. Wait for the activation message before entering another code. Hyphens in the tables only make phone numbers easier to read.

Health, Weapons and Wanted-Level Cheats

Story Mode on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Use phone numbers on those platforms or word codes in the PC cheat console.

Invincibility lasts five minutes. After it expires, enter PAINKILLER again to reactivate it. Your vehicle can still be destroyed. TOOLUP gives you a weapon set and ammo, not unlimited ammunition.

Movement and World Effects

GTA V Story Mode: PC commands and phone numbers for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.

On PC, use CATCHME to run faster or LIQUOR to activate drunk mode.

Skyfall is a fall effect, not a flight mode. Use a clean save before experimenting with combinations. If you enjoy changing one movement rule at a time, SoonLab’s game prototype maker offers a way to explore that idea in a small browser game of your own.

GTA 5 Vehicle Cheats, Including the Helicopter Code

The helicopter cheat code in GTA V is BUZZOFF, or 1-999-2899-633. Stand outdoors with enough clear space for the Buzzard to appear.

GTA V Story Mode: PC commands and phone numbers. The last three vehicle cheats require unlocks.

Unlock the Duke O’Death through the Duel random event, the Dodo through the Sea Plane random event, and the Kraken through the Wildlife Photography Challenge before using their spawn cheats. These vehicles and codes are unavailable in the original PS3 and Xbox 360 releases.

For a different kind of driving experiment, SoonLab’s car game maker lets you describe an original driving challenge, then adjust its controls and rules through follow-up prompts.

Common GTA 5 Cheat Codes on PS5 and PS4

Enter these during gameplay. “X” below means the PlayStation Cross button. These core combinations also work on PS3.

Platform: PS5, PS4 and PS3.

Common GTA 5 Cheat Codes on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

These core button combinations also apply to Xbox 360. Xbox X is the blue face button, not the PlayStation Cross button.

Platform: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Is There a GTA 5 Money Cheat Code?

No built-in GTA 5 cheat adds money, whether you play on PC, PlayStation or Xbox. HESOYAM belongs to San Andreas. GTA Online also has no legitimate money-generating cheat number; a Story Mode code cannot add cash to an Online character.

Do Cheats Disable Achievements?

Yes. Using cheats temporarily disables achievements and trophies in GTA V, although you can still save. Re-entering a code usually turns its effect off, but not always. Reload your pre-cheat save or restart before returning to normal progression. See Rockstar’s save and achievement guidance in the references below.

Starting a mission disables off-mission cheats. A “Cheat Denied” message can mean that the current activity does not allow that effect.

GTA 4 Cheat Codes: Phone Numbers for Niko’s Story

GTA IV uses the same cheat phone numbers on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Once Niko has his phone and manual dialing is available, bring up the phone, open the keypad, enter a number and call it. Successfully entered cheats become available in the phone’s Cheats menu.

GTA IV base campaign on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Enter these numbers on Niko’s phone.

There is no built-in GTA 4 money cheat or invincibility code for Niko’s campaign. Use 486-555-0150 or 486-555-0100 when you want a weapon set. Some cheats block specific achievements or trophies, so keep a separate save.

Episodes from Liberty City: Keep the Expansions Separate

Play the matching episode to use its exclusive codes. Owning or installing the episode does not add its vehicle cheats to Niko’s campaign.

Selected expansion-only phone cheats. Use each code while playing the episode shown.

GTA San Andreas Cheat Codes: Health, Money, Weapons and Jetpack

On PC, type the code while playing; do not open the GTA V cheat console or use a phone number. The selected GTA San Andreas cheat codes below are documented for the original PC game and the PC version of The Definitive Edition. They are keyboard codes, not PlayStation or Xbox button combinations.

San Andreas: selected keyboard codes for original PC and PC Definitive Edition.

HESOYAM is a real money cheat for this game. It adds $250,000 each time you activate it. ROCKETMAN gives CJ a jetpack; it does not spawn GTA V’s helicopter.

A cheat labeled “infinite health” may still leave CJ vulnerable to certain hazards. Keep a clean save, and avoid saving after turning on pedestrian riots or hostility: world-changing cheats can interfere with missions.

If the interesting part is inventing a different power—such as a jump that grows stronger with each pickup—you can prototype that rule with an AI action game maker after your GTA session.

GTA Vice City Cheat Codes: Weapons, Health and Vehicles

Type these during PC gameplay. The selected codes are documented for the original PC game and PC Definitive Edition. Vice City Stories is a separate game with different codes.

Vice City: selected keyboard codes for original PC and PC Definitive Edition.

Vice City has no built-in money code. PANZER creates a tank; it does not grant cash or make Tommy invincible. Water-driving is a vehicle effect, not a swimming ability for Tommy.

GTA 3 Cheat Codes: Money, Weapons and the Rhino

For GTA III on PC, enter these words during gameplay. The selected codes below are documented for both the original PC release and PC Definitive Edition.

GTA III: selected keyboard codes for original PC and PC Definitive Edition.

Unlike GTA V, GTA III does have a direct money cheat. Use IFIWEREARICHMAN in GTA III, not in Vice City or GTA IV.

Original Games vs. The Definitive Edition

The Trilogy’s Definitive Edition does not preserve every original cheat. For example, the original PC invisible-car effects ANICESETOFWHEELS in GTA III and WHEELSAREALLINEED in Vice City are documented as unavailable in the corresponding Definitive Editions.

The San Andreas, Vice City and GTA III tables above contain selected PC codes. For PlayStation, Xbox or Switch, use the button sequence for your exact game and edition. PC words cannot be entered as controller combinations.

Enter console button combinations during gameplay. For touch controls in the mobile Definitive Edition, load your game, tap the map, then choose Options → Accessibility → Enter Cheat Code if that option is present. The original mobile ports use different interfaces; this menu path does not apply to them.

Cheats can disable achievements or trophies in Definitive Edition. Keep a clean save and return to it for achievement attempts. Do not assume simply reversing the last effect restores eligibility.

Other GTA Cheat Codes: Stories, Chinatown Wars and GTA 2

The handheld games have their own cheats. Here are a few useful starting points with the platform written next to the code. On PSP, L and R mean the handheld’s shoulder buttons; on PS2, use L1 and R1 where specified.

GTA Liberty City Stories: PSP and PS2

Enter these during gameplay. For the PSP sequences below, substitute L1 and R1 on PS2.

Platform: PSP; on PS2, replace L and R with L1 and R1.

GTA Vice City Stories: PSP and PS2

These are Vice City Stories codes, not Tommy’s Vice City codes. Enter during gameplay; substitute L1 and R1 for the PSP shoulder buttons on PS2.

Platform: PSP; on PS2, replace L and R with L1 and R1.

GTA Chinatown Wars: PSP and Nintendo DS

Enter during gameplay. The face-button labels differ between PSP and DS.

Chinatown Wars: enter the sequence for your handheld during gameplay.

Platform: PSP. Enter these button combinations during gameplay.

Platform: Nintendo DS. Enter these button combinations during gameplay.

Cheat use can disable autosaving in Chinatown Wars. Keep a manual save. These sequences are not a promise of compatibility with touchscreen-only mobile releases.

GTA 2: PC Name-Entry Cheats

On PC, enter GOURANGA as your player name and confirm it to enable cheats. Delete that name, enter the code you want and confirm it before starting the game.

• GODOFGTA: weapons and ammunition.
• MUCHCASH: add $500,000.

Do not apply these PC names to the PlayStation or Dreamcast versions. The original Grand Theft Auto, GTA London and GTA Advance also need their own platform-specific references; their codes are outside this quick-reference selection.

Why Are My GTA Cheat Codes Not Working?

1. Check the game title. GTA III, Liberty City Stories and GTA IV all involve Liberty City, but they do not share a cheat system.
2. Check the edition and platform. A classic PC code, PS2 combination and Definitive Edition mobile input are different instructions.
3. Leave menus and cutscenes. Enter controller sequences during gameplay unless the game provides a dedicated cheat field.
4. Use the correct buttons. Follow D-pad directions and distinguish PlayStation Cross from Xbox X. Enter the sequence steadily without long pauses.
5. Return to free roam. In GTA V, an activity or mission may prevent a cheat from activating.
6. Make room for a vehicle. Stand outside in an open area. Unlock restricted vehicles before trying their spawn cheats.
7. Check whether the effect expired. GTA V invincibility lasts five minutes. Health restoration and temporary invincibility are different effects.
8. Reload a clean save. If several effects are active, start again from a known state instead of repeatedly stacking inputs.

FAQs About GTA Cheat Codes

1. Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 5?

No. GTA 5 has no built-in money cheat on PC, PlayStation or Xbox, including Story Mode. Codes from older games, such as HESOYAM in San Andreas, do not work in GTA V.

2. Can I Use GTA 5 Cheats in GTA Online?

No. GTA 5’s built-in cheat codes only work in Story Mode. Entering a cheat phone number in GTA Online will not give you money, weapons, vehicles or invincibility.

3. Why Isn’t My GTA Cheat Code Working?

Check that the code matches your game, platform and edition. Enter controller combinations during gameplay using the D-pad for directions. In GTA V, try again in free roam if a mission blocks the cheat. For vehicle spawns, stand outside with plenty of clear space and check whether the vehicle needs to be unlocked first.

4. Do GTA 5 Phone Cheats Work on Every Console?

Phone cheats work in Story Mode on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. The original PS3 and Xbox 360 releases require controller button combinations instead. Dial the numbers on your character’s in-game phone, not your real phone.

5. Will Using Cheats Permanently Disable GTA 5 Achievements?

No. GTA V temporarily disables achievements and trophies when you use cheats. You can still save, but turning off an individual effect does not necessarily restore achievement eligibility. Reload your pre-cheat save or restart the game before returning to normal progression.

6. Why Do Some Original GTA Trilogy Cheats Fail in The Definitive Edition?

Some original cheats are unavailable in The Definitive Edition, and controller inputs can differ between releases. Use instructions for the exact game, platform and edition you own. Do not assume an old PS2 combination or a PC word code works unchanged on your current console.

7. Why Did GTA 5’s Invincibility Cheat Stop Working?

The PAINKILLER cheat lasts five minutes. Enter it again after the effect expires to reactivate it. It protects your character, not your vehicle, and some activities can prevent cheats from activating.

Conclusion

The right GTA cheat code depends on your game, platform and edition. Use the GTA 5 phone numbers or controller combinations for Story Mode, check the separate tables for older games, and keep a clean save before experimenting. Bookmark this guide for verified GTA 6 codes as they become available.
