GTA 5 cheats and console commands
To enter GTA 5 cheats on PC, you need to activate the console with the ~ key, which you can find below the Esc button on your keyboard. This will display a pop-up window on your screen where you can type the console command for the cheat you want to use. Alternatively, you can key a number into your character’s cell phone, which is handy if you play with a controller instead of a keyboard.
