Will GTA 6 Cheats Disable Trophies and Achievements?
If GTA 6 follows tradition, turning on a cheat switches off your trophy progress for that session. Here is how to cheat without losing your completion run.

Before you go wild with invincibility and spawned helicopters, there is one thing every trophy hunter needs to know. In past GTA games, cheats and achievements do not mix.
The session rule
In GTA 5, activating any cheat disabled trophies and achievements for that play session. The block lifted only when you reloaded a save where no cheat had been used. We fully expect GTA 6 to carry this rule forward.
The logic is simple: cheats trivialize the very challenges that trophies are meant to reward, so Rockstar quietly switches achievement tracking off the moment you use one.
How to cheat safely
You can absolutely enjoy cheats without wrecking a completion run. A few habits help:
- Keep a clean save dedicated to your trophy and 100 percent playthrough, and never use cheats on it.
- Cheat on a separate save or a throwaway session when you just want to cause chaos.
- Remember that cheats do not carry into GTA Online, so your multiplayer progress is never at risk.
Bottom line
Cheats in GTA 6 will almost certainly be a single-player toy with a built-in trophy trade-off. Use them on the right save and you get the best of both worlds: chaos when you want it, completion when you need it.
