GTA 5 Cheats for Xbox Series X: All 36 Codes and Phone Numbers

There are 36 GTA 5 cheats for Xbox Series X, and most unlock immediately after the prologue. You can enter them two ways: button combinations on your controller, or phone number codes via the in-game cell phone. Three vehicle cheats — the Kraken, Dodo, and Duke O’Death — require completing specific missions before they’ll spawn. One critical thing to know upfront: activating any cheat disables achievements for that entire session, and cheats won’t activate during active missions.

Everything below is verified as of the current-gen Xbox Series X version of GTA 5.

Two Ways to Activate Cheats — and When to Use Each

Xbox Series X players have two activation methods, and they’re not interchangeable for every cheat.

Button combination: Enter the sequence directly on your controller during gameplay. No menus needed. The input window is forgiving — you don’t need to rush — but you must be out of a mission and not inside a cutscene.

Phone number method: Press Up on the D-pad to open your in-game phone. Navigate to the Contacts screen and press X to open the dial pad. Type the number, then press X again to call. A confirmation message will appear on screen when a cheat activates successfully.

Here’s the practical difference: button combos are faster once you’ve memorized them, but phone numbers are easier to use accurately for long sequences you don’t enter often. More importantly, the three restricted vehicles — Kraken, Dodo, and Duke O’Death — can only be spawned via phone number on Xbox, not through button inputs. Keep that in mind before grinding through a side mission only to enter the wrong activation method.

Repeating a cheat code toggles it off. Slow Motion Mode, for example, cycles through intensity levels before deactivating — enter it four times to turn it off completely.

The Five Cheats Worth Having in Your Phone Contacts

Out of 36 options, most players end up relying on a small handful. These are the ones that change how GTA 5 single-player actually feels to play.

Immortality (1-999-7246-545-537) — The obvious one. Five-minute timer, then you need to reactivate. Fair warning: it doesn’t prevent the game from triggering death animations in certain scripted sequences, so don’t rely on it during missions.

All Weapons (1-999-866-587) — Drops a sawn-off shotgun, sniper rifle, assault rifle, SMG, pistol, grenades, RPG, and knife into your inventory simultaneously. The fastest way to get fully equipped at any point in free roam.

Reduce Wanted Level (1-999-5299-3787) — More useful than the increase version in almost every situation. When a police pursuit spirals past three stars, this resets it cleanly without having to drive into a Pay ‘n’ Spray.

Spawn Buzzard (1-999-2899-633) — The Buzzard Attack Helicopter is arguably the most versatile vehicle in the game, and spawning one on demand is genuinely useful even outside of chaos-mode play. It lands nearly anywhere and the missiles handle most situations.

Explosive Bullets (1-999-444-439) — Every shot detonates on impact. Turns any firearm into something that deals area damage, which makes open-world combat absurdly entertaining and crowd control almost trivial.

Vehicle Spawns: What Unlocks Immediately and What Doesn’t

Fourteen vehicles are available through cheat codes. Eleven of them spawn from the moment you finish the prologue. The remaining three — the Kraken submarine, the Dodo seaplane, and the Imponte Duke O’Death muscle car — are locked behind side content, and on Xbox Series X they can only be called in via phone number. The button combinations listed in some older guides simply don’t work for these three on Xbox.

Kraken unlock: Complete the first Beverly Strangers and Freaks mission, then finish the LS Tourist Info Wildlife Photography Challenge — all 20 animal photos. Once both are done, the phone number activates.

Duke O’Death unlock: Complete the first Tonya Strangers and Freaks mission. This is available early in the story, so it’s one of the easier restricted vehicles to unlock.

Dodo unlock: Complete the Nervous Ron story mission with Trevor. This is a main story mission that unlocks naturally in Trevor’s early chapter, so most players will have access before they even start looking for cheats.

Movement and Special Ability Cheats Worth Understanding

A few of these need context to use properly — the descriptions alone don’t tell the full story.

Slow Motion Mode doesn’t just toggle. Entering the button sequence or calling 1-999-756-966 cycles through three intensity levels before finally deactivating on the fourth input. The slowest setting makes firefights almost meditative and is genuinely useful for tricky shooter sequences in free roam.

Super Jump (1-999-467-8648) pairs well with the Parachute cheat (1-999-759-3483). Jump off a building, deploy mid-air. It sounds obvious, but the jump height on this cheat is significant — you can clear most structures in the city without needing a vehicle.

Fall From Sky drops your character from a high altitude with no vehicle. You’ll want the Parachute code entered immediately before using this one, or keep 1-999-759-3483 ready to dial fast on the way down.

Refill Special Ability (1-999-769-3787) is character-specific in its effect: Franklin’s driving focus, Michael’s bullet time, Trevor’s rage mode. All three refill instantly. If you’re running a long free-roam session with a specific character and leaning on their ability often, this is worth remembering.

Reduced Gravity (1-999-356-2837) applies to all physics objects, not just your character. Vehicles float, projectiles arc strangely, and combat becomes genuinely unpredictable. Toggle it off before any driving you actually want to control.

Achievements, Online Play, and What Cheats Actually Break

A few clarifications that save frustration:

Achievements are session-locked, not save-locked. Activating a cheat disables achievements for that play session only. Quit to the main menu and reload your save, and achievement progress resumes normally. You don’t lose permanent access — just the current session.

GTA Online is completely separate. Cheats have no effect in GTA Online and cannot be activated there. The session lock only applies to story mode.

Cheats don’t activate during missions. Attempting to enter a code while a mission is active produces no result. You’ll need to fail or abandon the mission first.

Change Weather cycles, not selects. Calling 1-999-625-348-7246 moves through weather states sequentially — clear, cloudy, overcast, raining, thunderstorm, clearing — rather than jumping to a specific one. Enter it multiple times to reach the weather you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do GTA 5 cheats work on Xbox Series X via backward compatibility or the native version?

Both. Whether you’re running the Xbox One version through backward compatibility or the native Xbox Series X version of GTA 5, the cheat codes are identical. Button combinations and phone numbers function the same way across both.

Can I save my game after using cheats?

Yes. The game allows manual saves and autosaves while cheats are active. Your save won’t be flagged or corrupted. The only consequence is the achievement lock for that session, which resets when you reload.

Why isn’t my cheat activating?

Most failed inputs come down to two things: entering the code during a mission (where cheats are disabled entirely), or a misread button in a long sequence. The Immortality code — Right, A, Right, Left, Right, RB, Right, Left, A, Y — is frequently mistyped because of the repeated directional pattern. Try the phone number method for codes that keep failing; it removes input error from the equation.

Does Immortality make you truly invincible?

Not completely. The cheat prevents standard damage from killing you, but certain scripted death sequences and mission fail conditions bypass it. It also expires after five minutes and must be reactivated. Think of it as extreme damage resistance rather than true invincibility.

Can the Buzzard cheat be used anywhere?

The Buzzard spawns at your current position. If you’re indoors or in a tight space, it may spawn in an awkward location or clip into the environment. Activate it in open areas — rooftops, wide streets, or open fields — for a clean spawn every time.
