Are there cheats for GTA 5 PS5?
Yes — GTA 5 on PS5 supports every cheat code from the PS4 version. The enhanced edition released in (GamesRadar+ gaming guide) didn’t remove or change any of the classic console inputs. You can use both the controller keypad method and the in-game phone method exactly as on PS4.
How to enter cheat codes on PS5
- Controller button sequence: While in active gameplay (not paused), input the button combination rapidly using the D-pad for directional inputs — not the analog stick (Eneba game guide). Stand still in free-roam to avoid input interruption (GTABoom community guide).
- In-game phone: Press UP on the D-pad to open the phone, go to Contacts, then use the dial pad to enter the phone number (always starts with 1-999). A confirmation message appears at the top left (GamesRadar+).
- Confirmation: The game displays “Cheats have been activated. Achievements will not be awarded for the duration of this session.” (YouTube how-to video)
The D-pad vs. analog stick distinction is easy to miss — but using the analog stick for directional inputs like LEFT or RIGHT will cause the code to fail. Use the D-pad exclusively.
What are all GTA V cheat codes?
The complete list of 32 known codes for PS5 includes classics like invincibility, weapons, vehicle spawns, and weather effects. The table above covers the most requested ones. All button sequences are identical to the PS4 version (Radio Times gaming guide).

- Phone number: 1-999-887-853 (TURTLE) (GamesRadar+)
Lower wanted level cheat code
- Phone number: 1-999-5299-3787 (LAWYERUP) (Radio Times)
No money cheat exists for GTA V on any platform — Rockstar never implemented one (Radio Times). The code often called “money cheat” (R1, R2, X, L1, L2, Circle, Triangle, Square) actually gives $500,000, but it’s not a cheat — it’s a one-time story-mode bonus from the “A Lot of Cheddar” mission.
How to claim free $1,000,000 in GTA 5?
There’s no direct “free money” cheat in GTA V. The largest single payout comes from completing the main story and the stock market missions — the “A Lot of Cheddar” finale can net you over $1,000,000 (GamesRadar+). New players also receive a one-time $1,000,000 bonus after finishing the tutorial if they’ve linked a Rockstar Social Club account (IGN GTA 5 Wiki).
Other ways to earn money fast
- Complete heists in Story Mode — the final heist can reward up to $40 million with good stock investments.
- Collect hidden packages (Stunt Jumps, Spaceship Parts) for cash rewards.
- Use the in-game stock market after assassination missions to multiply your money.
How to get $2 million fast in GTA Online?
Cheats are disabled in GTA Online (GamesRadar+), so you’ll need legitimate methods. The fastest ways to earn $2 million in GTA Online include:
- Complete the Cayo Perico heist (solo, $1.5M+ per run).
- Sell high-demand vehicles from the Auto Shop.
- Participate in weekly double-money events from Rockstar.
Any third-party tool or modded save that claims to give you money cheats in GTA Online violates Rockstar’s terms of service and can result in a permanent ban.
How do I claim my free $1,000,000 on GTA?
New GTA V players on PS5 can claim a one-time $1,000,000 bonus by linking their Rockstar Social Club account and completing the Prologue (tutorial mission) (IGN GTA 5 Wiki). This bonus is only available once per account and cannot be claimed repeatedly. For existing players, keep an eye on weekly special events where Rockstar occasionally gives out free money to all active players.

What the experts say
“All the GTA V cheat codes on Xbox, PS5 and PS4 and PC are the same — Rockstar hasn’t changed a single input since the game launched on PS3.”
– Red Bull Gaming
“GTA V cheats are strictly for Story Mode. If you try to use them in GTA Online, nothing happens and no achievement is impacted — because they simply don’t work there.”
– IGN GTA 5 Wiki
For PS5 players, the trade-off is straightforward: cheats give you god-like power in Los Santos, but they lock out trophies for that session. The smart move? Experiment with cheats on a separate manual save, then reload your clean file when you’re ready to earn achievements. For trophy hunters, the conclusion is clear: keep one save for cheating fun and another for progression — or risk missing that Platinum.
