GTA 5 has plenty of cheats and unlocks like the previous Grand Theft Auto titles. It lets you type in cheat codes using buttons and the d-pad to spawn vehicles or unlock features like flaming bullets and even a ‘Drunk Mode’.
We’ve compiled the following GTA V cheat list.
How to enter cheat codes in GTA 5
Simply input the commands using the d-pad and buttons in quick succession, while playing in-game. If entered correctly, a note will appear above the map.
Note: We’ve listed the button commands for the Xbox 360. If you’re a PS3 player, replace the following with the command in brackets: A (X), B (Circle), X (Square), Y (Triangle), RB (R1), LB (L1), RT (R2), LT (L2).
Also, entering codes will prevent you from unlocking achievements and trophies in that game session. If you want to unlock achievements again, just re-load a previous saved game.
