GTA is one of the last few modern AAA franchises that honour the tradition of the cheat code in video games, the majority of other big franchises have chosen to not incorporate cheat codes in their games anymore.
Players remember fondly the time, when they would note down cheat codes on a piece of paper somewhere for games like GTA: San Andreas, Max Payne, or Freedom Fighters.
Cheat Codes have always been a fun, beloved part of video games for the longest time but developers have chosen to not have them around in newer releases
GTA 5 stuck to its roots and gave the players plenty of cheat codes on PC, and even a way for Console players to use Cheats. It is one of the few AAA titles to incorporate cheat codes and other cheats.
You can use these cheats in GTA 5 to make the game easier, or just wackier.
