Cheat codes have always been a defining part of the Grand Theft Auto experience, and San Andreas remains the most iconic entry when it comes to experimenting with world-bending effects, instant weapons, and absurd vehicle spawns. The PS5 version keeps that legacy intact, allowing players to trigger dozens of classic cheats using button inputs—no menus, no prompts, just fast combinations that instantly activate in-game.
How Cheat Codes Work on PS5
On the PS5, cheats are activated by entering a sequence of controller inputs while playing. You don’t need to pause, and you don’t need any UI prompt—if the cheat is entered correctly, the effect activates immediately.
- Using cheats blocks all trophies until you reload a clean save. Always create a separate manual save before experimenting.
- Some cheats disable others, especially movement-boosting and pedestrian-behavior cheats.
- You can re-enter most codes to toggle the effect off.

How to Use GTA San Andreas Cheats on PS5
To avoid losing trophy progress and accidental save corruption:
- Create a separate manual save slot before entering any codes.
- If you’re testing multiple effects, re-enter a code to disable it when needed.
- Some movement or physics cheats stack unpredictably; reload if the world behaves oddly.
San Andreas remains the gold standard for sandbox experimentation, and its PS5 version supports nearly every original cheat plus several modern improvements. Whether you want to summon a Hydra above Los Santos, trigger a full pedestrian riot, or simply gear CJ with maxed-out weapons instantly, these codes keep the fun alive without needing mods.
