With the re-re-release of Grand Theft Auto 5 for the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5, players are dipping back into the world of Los Santos to follow the adventures of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor once more. With how gorgeous the game looks and how smoothly it plays on modern consoles, it’s no wonder why it’s frequently lauded as the best game of all time, even if some fans are irked about its nearly ten years of being remastered and re-released.
After all, there’s plenty to love about GTA 5 from its tongue-in-cheek satirical narrative to its over-the-top gameplay, but one aspect of the series as a whole is part of the reason why people keep coming back for more so many years following GTA 5‘s initial release: cheat codes. Cheat codes are at GTA staple and GTA 5‘s cheats are some of the best ever included in the franchise.
Some require the player to input codes into their phone, but most don’t even need a special cheat code entering screen–all the player has to do is enter the proper button sequence and the code will be activated. Use the codes below to truly embrace the mayhem that GTA 5 does such a good job creating.
