Do Cheats Disable Achievements in GTA 5?

Yes — using any cheat code in GTA 5 will disable achievements and trophies for your current game session. But it is not permanent.

⚠️ Key Fact

Activating ANY cheat code immediately disables all achievements and trophies for your current play session. This includes all cheats — health, weapons, vehicles, weather, and fun cheats.

How the Achievement Block Works

When you enter any cheat code in GTA 5, the game flags your current session as "cheated." This flag prevents any achievements or trophies from unlocking until you reload a clean save file.

The good news is that this block is temporary and session-based. It does not permanently damage your save file or profile. Simply save before using cheats, then reload that save when you want to earn achievements.

2Use cheats for fun, exploration, or testing
3When done, reload your manual save
4Achievements will work normally again after reload
5Never save your game while cheats are active if you care about achievements

All Cheats Disable Achievements — No Exceptions

Every single cheat code in GTA 5 triggers the achievement block, including seemingly harmless cheats like changing weather or spawning a vehicle. There is no "safe" cheat that lets you keep achievements.
