Frequently Asked Questions

How do you enter cheat codes in GTA 5?
On PS5 and PS4, enter button combinations during gameplay (no pause menu needed). On Xbox, use the same system with Xbox controller buttons. On PC, press the tilde key (~) to open the console and type the cheat, or use the in-game phone to dial cheat numbers. Cheats only work in story mode. They are completely disabled in GTA Online.
Do cheat codes work in GTA Online?
No. GTA 5 cheat codes only work in single-player story mode. Using mods, exploits, or external cheats in GTA Online violates Rockstar's terms of service and can result in a permanent ban. To earn money in GTA Online, use legitimate methods like heists, businesses, and missions covered in our guides above.
What is the fastest way to make money in GTA Online in 2026?
The Cayo Perico Heist still has the highest solo ceiling: its Pink Diamond target pays $910,000 since the 14 July 2026 cut. Combine it with passive income from a Nightclub linked to MC businesses, a Bunker, and an Acid Lab. New players should buy the Kosatka submarine ($2.2M) first to unlock Cayo Perico. See our Money Guide and Best Businesses sections for the full strategy.
What is the best business to buy first in GTA Online?
Buy the Kosatka submarine first ($2.2M) to unlock the Cayo Perico Heist. Then an Agency for passive income and security contracts, followed by a Nightclub to consolidate all your business stock. Avoid buying expensive vehicles or properties until your income stream is established. Our Best Businesses section ranks every business by ROI.
What are the best easter eggs in GTA 5?
GTA 5's most famous easter eggs include the frozen alien under the ice at North Yankton, the Mount Chiliad mystery with its UFO sightings, the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans on Mount Gordo, the peyote plants that transform you into animals, and the underwater UFO off the coast of Paleto Bay. See our Easter Eggs section for the full list with locations.
