Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 5 is one of the most beloved and popular games in the world.
It introduces you to an expansive world and offers various opportunities and means by which you can explore the game’s virtual world, go on missions, earn achievements, acquire properties, and more.
Although there is no denying that GTA 5 is extremely fun to play in regular mode, using cheats can enhance the gaming experience even further.
GTA 5 cheats allow you to do things you wouldn’t ordinarily be able to do in the game, introducing a whole new set of adventures and challenges for you to prove yourself.
We have put together a complete guide to GTA 5 cheat codes for PC for those looking to take their gameplay to the next level.
We will walk you through how to activate these cheat codes and explain what each cheat does so you know exactly what you are getting into.
Let’s begin.
How to Activate GTA 5 Cheats on PC?
There are different ways you can go about entering GTA 5 cheat codes into your PC to activate them at any point during your gameplay.
PC Commands — This is the fastest method for entering GTA 5 cheats via your PC. All you have to do is hit the key to the left side of the “1” key on your keyboard. Depending on the country you are in, the key could have the “~” or “¬” imprinted on it.
Pressing this key will bring up the command box where you can type the cheat code or phrase that you want to activate. Type the code out in capital letters and hit enter when you are done.
Cell Phone Numbers — Alternatively, you can turn on a cheat code by pressing to bring up your in-game cell phone. Go to the contact list and hit the spacebar to access the dial pad, then enter and dial the phone number for the desired cheat.
Keep in mind that GTA 5 cheats are not permanently stored on the cell phone like in GTA 4 so you will need to re-enter them every time you want to use them. But you can tap * on your dial pad to quickly re-enter the number for the last cheat you used.
Controller Buttons — If you are using a gamepad, you can browse online for GTA PlayStation and Xbox cheats and use the appropriate button combinations to activate the desired cheat code.
Tip for Using GTA 5 Cheats for PC
Before you start using cheats to boost your GTA 5 gaming experience, you should know that applying cheats will temporarily disable achievements and trophies throughout your gaming session.
This means that you won’t be able to earn new achievements until you deactivate the cheats, reload the game, or restart your PC.
To avoid losing your current streak, we recommend that you save your games before activating any cheats. This way, you will always have a clean save slot.
Using cheat codes for GTA 5 on your PC will also stop you from earning ratings higher than Bronze medals in your missions for the duration of the gaming session. However, things will go back to normal once you reload the game or remove the cheat.
Activating GTA 5 cheats won’t affect your ability to play the game to completion, so you don’t have to worry about compromising your gaming adventures.
