Cheat Codes have had a long and storied history and Rockstar Games makes it a point to include a whole bunch of them in the GTA games. Players have fond memories of ploughing through enemy forces using a tank in GTA Vice City and spawning Helicopters for travel in GTA San Andreas. True to fashion, Rockstar Games also included the option to toggle cheat codes in their last GTA game, Grand Theft Auto V as well.
GTA 5 was already a pretty fun game, but using cheat codes can elevate the amount of fun one can have by a whole lot. GTA 5 Cheats are no slouch in the fun department, even if AAA games seem to have forgotten cheats altogether.
Using GTA 5’s many cheats can open up all sorts of gameplay opportunities players had not experienced previously. If one ever felt like the game world felt a little too quiet and calm, using a couple of GTA 5 cheats might help the player turn up the volume by several notches. The purpose and origins of cheat codes stemmed from the fact that during the early days of video game development, developers did not have the kits to bypass entire levels.
Instead, to test or to get through a level quickly, a cheat code would come in handy and would be kept in the game for players to have fun with. The GTA franchise has contained all sorts of cheat codes, even when GTA games were being developed on proper dev kits that did not necessitate the use of cheat codes.
