Age of Empires: Definitive Edition – How To Unlock Units, Get Infinite Resources & More | Cheats List

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is finally available on Steam, and like a proper remaster, it’s bringing back everything fans loved about the original. That includes cheat codes that let you summon nuke-launching scientists, or summon a baby wielding a rocket launcher. There are a lot of weird, wonderful cheat options in this game, and it’s 100% worth checking out the list below and giving some of these weird cheats a try.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition brings the original game back to modern PCs. Now fully compatible with Windows 10, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition also includes 4K resolution, supports 8-person multiplayer, and revitalizes other old features of this long-running franchise. Thankfully, it retained one of my favorite parts — the ridiculous cheat codes.
