How to Enter Cheats in GTA 6
Updated November 9, 2026
Quick answer
Rockstar hasn't revealed how cheats are entered in GTA 6. The game releases on November 19, 2026, and we'll update this guide with the exact steps as soon as we've tested it.
How cheats worked in GTA V
On PlayStation and Xbox, you entered a cheat by pressing a sequence of buttons on the controller during gameplay. A message on screen confirmed the cheat was active.
You could also dial a cheat as a phone number on the in-game phone. Once dialed, cheats were saved in the phone's contacts so you could use them again quickly.
On PC, you opened a text box with the tilde key (~) and typed the cheat's name.
How cheats worked in Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar's last open-world game used a different system: you found cheat phrases in-game, then typed them into a Cheats menu in the settings. GTA 6 could use either system, or something new.
Tips for button codes
Enter the code during gameplay, not on the pause menu or map.
Press the buttons quickly and in order. If you make a mistake, start again from the first button.
Some cheats can't be used during missions or while in a vehicle.
