All of the best GTA 5 cheat codes for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC

The overall Grand Theft Auto series is very well known for multiple things. Stealing cars, bullying civilians, and using cheats to make the single-player experience more fun are some of the many that come to mind. However, Grand Theft Auto in particular doesn’t have the same cheat code culture as previous games did.

For example, most players likely vividly remember writing down all of the best GTA San Andreas or Vice City codes on a sheet of paper to keep track of them. Now that the internet is easier to use than ever before, players can just search for all of the cheat codes but they still don’t. The biggest reason for this is that most players just don’t know about them.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has some wacky cheat codes that can make the single-player experience a blast to play. Today, we’re going through our picks for the best cheat codes for console and PC to ensure you can start using them straight away.

How to use cheat codes in GTA 5

Now, there are a total of three unique methods players can use to enter cheat codes in GTA 5. However, the best one depends on the platform the player is using. Below is every way to use cheat codes in the game and the ideal scenario to use them.

The command console

The first way to use cheats in GTA 5 is through the command console. As most players likely already guessed, this method is exclusive to PC players. To open the command console in GTA 5, all you have to do is tap the tilde (~) key, which is usually located above the tab key and next to the number 1. Then, enter the code and you’ll be good to go.

The in-game cellphone

Arguably the most common way to use cheat code in GTA 5 is through the in-game cellphone. This method is usable for all versions of GTA 5, though it isn’t the quickest. To enter a cheat code using the in-game cellphone in GTA 5, first open the phone using either the up button on your controller or the up arrow key on your keyboard. Then, go to contacts and dial the cheat’s unique code.

Button Inputs

Finally, players can also enter cheat codes using controller inputs. As the method’s name suggests, all players have to do is enter the required cheat code’s button inputs to activate the code. This method is most common for console players, although those using a controller to play GTA 5 on their PC can use it too.

Best GTA 5 cheat codes

Now that you know how you can enter cheat codes in GTA 5, it’s time to go through our picks for the best cheat codes in the game. In addition to giving the required inputs for every cheat code, we’ll also explain what makes them so fun to use.

Gain the ability to jump extremely high

The first cheat on this list is the one that gives the player the ability to jump extremely high. Driving and flying to get to wherever you want is well and good, but what if you had the ability to travel long distances using a single jump?

This cheat not only gives players the ability to jump higher than a building like they were The Hulk or Superman, but it also helps bypass obstacles. Picture this; you’re driving to a marker but you realize you need to get on top of a bridge while your car brings you under it. Finding the path up the bridge would take too long. Fortunately, you can just use this cheat code and then get on top of the bridge with a single button.

Below is every way to use this cheat code:

• Cellphone: 19994678648
• Command console: HOPTOIT
• PlayStation: Left, Left, Triangle, Triangle, Right, Right, Left, Right, Square, R1, R2
• Xbox: Left, Left, Y, Y, Right, Right, Left, Right, X, RB, RT

Slow down time when aiming

There’s nothing more satisfying than landing the perfect headshot on an enemy. However, because enemy NPCs like moving around so much, getting proper headshots in is easier said than done. Fortunately, this cheat can help players land headshots every time.

Players will likely be familiar with Micheal’s unique ability to slow down time for him. The problem with it is that it doesn’t last forever. However, this code does, though the one difference is that it only kicks in when the player holds down the aim button.

Arguably the most unique thing about this “Bullet Time” cheat is that there are three levels players can cycle through by entering the cheat code again. Every level is slower than the last one, so players can cycle through them all to see which one suits them best.

Below is every way to use this cheat code:

• Cellphone: 19993323393
• Command console: DEADEYE
• PlayStation: Square, L2, R1, Triangle, Left, Square, L2, Right, X
• Xbox: X, LT, RB, Y, Left, X, LT, Right, A

Swim as fast as a dolphin

Most GTA 5 players agree that the single most annoying activity in the game is swimming. Not only does is utilize the player’s stamina to swim fast, but even when pressing the swim button the player character swims painstakingly slow. Naturally, boats don’t grow on trees so players are forced to get into the water every now and then.

However, what if there was a way to swim much faster than usual? Well, that’s where this cheat code comes into play. All you have to do is enter it and Trever, Michael, and Franklin will swim extremely fast. This makes getting to islands or on solid land after a failed boat ride much quicker.

Below is every way to use this cheat code:

• Cell phone: 199946844557
• Command console: GOTGILLS
• PlayStation: Left, Left, L1, Right, Right, R2, Left, L2, Right
• Xbox: Left, Left, LB, Right, Right, RT, Left, LT, Right

Gain exploding punches and bullets

The final cheat code we want to take a closer look at isn’t one but three cheat codes. All three cheat codes under this heading give players the ability to inflict burning pain on their enemies in some way. Whether it be through punching them or by shooting them, players can load themselves with exploding attacks to make quick work of anyone in their way.

GTA 5 isn’t known for its difficulty. However, there’s something satisfying about punching a random civilian once and watching them fly away. If you think it sounds weird then you’re absolutely correct, but isn’t that what the series is known for? One thing to keep in mind is that a single explosive bullet will destroy most cars, so try not to use them on cars you want to drive or sell later.

Below is every way to use the exploding bullets cheat code:

• Cell phone: 1999444439
• Command console: HIGHEX
• PlayStation: Right, Square, X, Left, R1, R2, Left, Right, Right, L1, L1, L1
• Xbox: Right, X, A, Left, RB, RT, Left, Right, Right, LB, LB, LB

Below is every way to use the exploding punches cheat code:

• Cell phone: 199946842637
• Command console: HOTHANDS
• PlayStation: Right, Left, X, Triangle, R1, Circle, Circle, Circle, L2
• Xbox: Right, Left, A, Y, RB, B, B, B, LT

Is there a money cheat in GTA 5?

One of the most common questions new players have when playing GTA 5 is whether there’s a money cheat in the game. After all, money is the most sought-after currency in the game and can help make things much more fun for players. This can be through buying the best cars or even purchasing the best buildings or businesses to expand your in-game criminal empire.

However, unfortunately, GTA 5 does not have any money cheat. This contradicts most games in the series that had money glitches, though it seems like Rockstar Games wants players to enjoy the journey. Who knows, the upcoming GTA 6 might have a money cheat for players to use.

One of the best ways to make an unlimited amount of money is to use a cheat to spawn expensive vehicles and then sell them. However, this process does take a while so players will have to be ready to sink some time to make the amount of money they want.
