Will GTA 6 Have Cheat Codes?
Almost yes. Cheat codes have been in every mainline GTA since GTA III (2001). Rockstar treats them as a tradition, they disable achievements/trophies so they don't affect progression, and they're purely for fun.
GTA V introduced phone-activated cheats, dial a number on your in-game phone to activate. GTA 6 will likely keep this system, possibly supplemented by button combinations.
