Whether you’re stuck on a difficult mission, exploring the map with infinite ammo, or just wanting to experience the game differently, PS4 cheat codes transform your gameplay experience. The best part? They’re still fully supported and working perfectly on your DualShock 4 controller.

FAQs
Q1: Will using cheat codes ruin my GTA V experience or affect my save file permanently?
No, cheat codes won’t ruin your game or permanently damage your save file. They simply disable achievements and trophies during that session. Think of them as a “fun mode” toggle—use them whenever you want, and they have zero long-term consequences. You can activate invincibility, go wild for an hour, then restart and play legitimately to earn achievements. This flexibility is what makes Rockstar’s approach to cheating brilliant. The cheat codes essentially exist to let players experience the game their way, whether that’s story-focused, chaos-focused, or experimental. Your save file remains clean and playable regardless of how many times you’ve used cheats.
Q2: Are there any cheat codes that work in GTA Online, or is it exclusively Story Mode?
Unfortunately, cheat codes are completely disabled in GTA Online. Rockstar maintains strict anti-cheat policies in the multiplayer environment to ensure fair gameplay for all players. If you try entering a cheat code while in GTA Online, nothing will happen. However, Rockstar continuously updates GTA Online with new missions, heists, and activities that provide legitimate earning opportunities and gameplay variety. If you want to experience cheats, you’ll need to play Story Mode exclusively. This design choice protects the competitive integrity of GTA Online while still allowing creative freedom in the single-player campaign.
