All Grand Theft Auto V Cheats for PlayStation 5

There are 36 GTA 5 cheats available on PS5, covering everything from weapons and immortality to vehicle spawns and gameplay modifiers. Every cheat works two ways: a button sequence entered during gameplay, or a 1-999 phone number dialed from your in-game cell. Fair warning — activating any cheat disables Trophy earning for the rest of that session, and codes won’t work during active missions.

Both methods are listed for every cheat below. Three vehicle spawns (Kraken, Duke O’Death, Dodo) require completing specific missions before the phone number works — those are flagged separately.

How to Activate GTA 5 Cheats on PS5

Button codes: just enter the sequence during free roam, no pause menu needed. If you do it right, a notification appears in the top-left corner confirming the cheat activated.

Phone numbers take a few extra steps. Press Up on the D-pad to open your phone, go to Contacts, press Square to bring up the dial pad, type the number, then press Square again to call. The upside to using the phone method is that your number saves to recent calls — so once you’ve dialed it once, re-activating that cheat takes about three seconds.

Slow Motion Mode and Slow Motion Aiming stack up to four times each. Enter the same code repeatedly to intensify the effect; entering it a fifth time disables it. Keep that in mind if things get too slow — it’s easy to forget you’ve stacked it three layers deep.

One more thing: cheats don’t carry over between sessions. Every time you load the game, you start fresh.

GTA 5 Gameplay Cheats for PlayStation

This is the full reference table for all non-vehicle cheats. The button sequences use standard PS5 controller notation: ✕, 〇, ☐, △, L1/L2, R1/R2, and directional inputs.

A couple of notes on specific cheats. Immortality lasts exactly five minutes per activation — it doesn’t run indefinitely. You’ll need to re-enter the code or redial before it expires if you want to stay invincible. The Weapons cheat gives you a full set: Sawn-Off Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, SMG, Pistol, Grenades, RPG, and Knife. Calling it again tops up ammo on everything. And the Change Weather code cycles through clear, cloudy, overcast, rainy, stormy, foggy, and back — enter it multiple times to land on the weather you want.

GTA 5 Vehicle Spawn Cheats for PlayStation

Fourteen vehicles can be spawned via cheat on PS5. Most work with either a button code or a phone number. Three — marked with an asterisk — are phone-number only on PS5, and they require specific mission completions before they’ll spawn at all. More on that in the next section.

Notably absent: a tank. Unlike older GTA titles, there’s no cheat code to spawn a Rhino or any armored military vehicle in GTA 5. Your options are to steal one from Fort Zancudo (expect four stars the moment you touch it) or buy one from Warstock Cash & Carry for $1,500,000 in story mode.

Vehicle Unlock Requirements for the Three Restricted Spawns

The Kraken, Duke O’Death, and Dodo Sea Plane are locked behind story progress — not just phone numbers. Dialing the number before completing the prerequisite mission does nothing. Here’s exactly what each one requires.

Kraken Submarine (1-999-282-2537): Complete the first Beverly Strangers and Freaks mission — “Paparazzi” — and then photograph all twenty animals requested in the LS Tourist Info Wildlife Photography Challenge. This is a significant time investment. The animals are scattered across the map, several only appear at specific times of day, and you need Franklin’s phone camera specifically. Community tracking puts the minimum completion time at around 2–3 hours if you’re using a map guide, considerably longer without one.

Dodo Sea Plane (1-999-398-4628): Complete Trevor’s “Nervous Ron” mission. This is a main story mission that unlocks relatively early in Trevor’s arc, so it won’t gatekeep most players for long. Once done, the phone number spawns the Dodo anywhere — including inland, which produces entertaining results.

Imponte Duke O’Death (1-999-3328-4227): Complete the first Tonya Strangers and Freaks mission. Tonya’s missions are a short side chain available fairly early in the story. Clear the first one and the Duke O’Death number becomes active.

All three of these vehicles are PS5 phone-number-only — there are no button code equivalents for them on PlayStation. That’s a PS5-specific limitation; it differs from how some other platforms handle the same vehicles.

Trophy Impact and Other Cheat Limitations Worth Knowing

The big one: activating any cheat code instantly disables Trophy unlocking for that entire play session. Not just while the cheat is active — for the whole session. Close the application entirely and relaunch if you want Trophies back. This catches a lot of players off guard when they pop a cheat “just to test something” and then wonder why story mission completions aren’t triggering Trophy notifications.

Cheats cannot be entered during missions. The input will go through — you’ll see the confirmation message — but the effect won’t apply until you’re back in free roam. Actually, you won’t see a confirmation either. The game just ignores the input mid-mission.

Slow Motion and Slow Motion Aiming are worth understanding specifically because of how the stacking works. Each press deepens the effect through four levels. Level four is extremely slow — useful for setting up screenshots or catching specific moments, less useful for actual gameplay. The fifth press toggles it fully off. If you stack it accidentally, just keep pressing until it clears.

Change Weather cycles through a preset sequence. The order is: clear, extra sunny, cloudy, overcast, rainy, thunderstorm, clearing, and foggy. Enter the code eight times to come back around to where you started. If you want a specific weather type, count your presses from whatever the current weather state is.

Finally, spawned vehicles count toward traffic and can despawn under normal game rules. If you spawn a Buzzard, park it somewhere and walk away, there’s a real chance it won’t be there when you return. Either stay close or save your progress after spawning something you want to keep — though keep in mind that cheats themselves are never saved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does GTA 5 have a god mode cheat on PS5?

Not exactly — the Immortality cheat (Right, ✕, Right, Left, Right, R1, Right, Left, ✕, △ or 1-999-7246-545-537) makes you invincible but only for five minutes per activation. It doesn’t run indefinitely. Re-enter the code before the timer expires to stay protected.

How do you get a tank in GTA 5 on PS5?

There’s no tank spawn cheat in GTA 5. You either steal a Rhino from Fort Zancudo — which immediately gives you a four-star wanted level — or purchase one from Warstock Cash & Carry for $1,500,000. The cheat was present in older GTA titles but Rockstar didn’t carry it over to GTA 5.

Can you use GTA 5 cheats in GTA Online on PS5?

No. Cheat codes are strictly Story Mode only. Entering any code in GTA Online has no effect. Attempting to spawn vehicles or activate gameplay modifiers online simply won’t work.

Do GTA 5 cheats work in the PS5 version differently from PS4?

The button codes and phone numbers are identical between PS4 and PS5. The only PS5-specific note is that the three locked vehicle spawns (Kraken, Duke O’Death, Dodo) have no button code equivalent on PlayStation — phone number only, and only after completing the prerequisite missions.

How do you spawn a helicopter in GTA 5 on PS5?

Enter 〇, 〇, L1, 〇, 〇, 〇, L1, L2, R1, △, 〇, △ or call 1-999-2899-633 to spawn the Buzzard Attack Helicopter. It spawns armed with rockets and a minigun. Make sure you’re in an open area — if it spawns clipped into a building or slope, it may explode immediately.

What happens if you save the game after using cheats?

Saving after activating cheats is fine — it saves your progress normally. But the cheats themselves are not saved. When you reload, no cheat effects carry over. Your Trophy lockout also resets on relaunch, so you can use cheats in one session and go after Trophies in another without any permanent penalty.
