GESUNDHEIT
Restores health to full
All 233 cheat codes Rockstar ever shipped in a mainline Grand Theft Auto — GTA III (2001) through GTA 5 (2013) — cross-verified against two sources each, categorized, and free to reuse with attribution. The dataset behind our GTA 6 predictions.
−64%
The HD-era purge: from San Andreas (86) to GTA IV (31), Rockstar cut the cheat list by three quarters.
2004
The year the money cheat died. GTA III and San Andreas gave $250,000 per entry; no GTA since has shipped one.
4 eras
Entry methods evolved: typed words (III–VC) → letter codes (SA) → phone dialing (IV) → combos + 1-999 numbers + console (V).
The one that started it: type GUNSGUNSGUNS mid-game on PC. GTA III also had a money cheat — a habit Rockstar would soon kill.

Chapter six of this dataset starts on launch night. Every discovered GTA 6 code lands on the GTA 6 cheat codes hub within hours, marked Reported until we verify it on console. Meanwhile we've turned this data into a quantified prediction of which cheats GTA 6 will have, and a plain-English deep dive.
Writing about GTA 6 cheats? This dataset is CC-BY 4.0 — every count, code and category above is free to cite in articles, videos and research with a link to gta6codes.com. Cross-verified against two independent sources per entry; corrections welcome.
San Andreas, with 86 documented codes — from HESOYAM to the jetpack. The series average is about 47 per game, and the count has fallen sharply in the HD era: GTA IV shipped 31 and GTA 5 has 35.
HESOYAM from San Andreas — $250,000, full health and armor in one seven-letter code. It's also the last money cheat Rockstar ever shipped; nothing in GTA IV or GTA 5 adds a dollar.
History gives a range: every mainline GTA shipped between 23 and 86 codes, with the HD-era games in the 16–35 band. Our expectation for GTA 6 is a GTA 5-sized list (~30) at launch, growing with re-releases — tracked live on the GTA 6 codes hub from November 19, 2026.
