Cheats can provide a variety of different gameplay experiences, such as making life easier for the player or giving them something that is hard to acquire. Grand Theft Auto V is filled to the brim with different codes that can be used to change the way the game is played.

How To Input Cheats

Dialing a phone number cheat in Grand Theft Auto V

There are two methods of inputting cheats for each version of Grand Theft Auto V. In the Playstation and Xbox versions of the game, players can enter the code at any point while walking around Los Santos but must do so quickly. On PC, players can hit the tilde (~) key to bring up the game's console and input the word associated with that cheat. For all versions, however, the easiest way to activate a cheat is to open up the Contacts app on the phone, going to the keyboard, and entering the number that will always start with "1-999."
