Open-world games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Skyrim often rely on cheats to enhance longevity, allowing players to unlock items, break game boundaries, quickly traverse the map, and more. While Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t have a traditional cheat system, the PC modding community has created cheat codes to enhance gameplay.
This guide will show you how to use cheat codes in Cyberpunk 2077 and introduce some of the best cheats in the game. Cheats are not officially supported, and you’ll need to use a mod to access them, so proceed with caution. It’s recommended to back up your save data in case of any issues. Some commands may disrupt game elements, though no issues were encountered during testing.

Installing a Cyberpunk 2077 Cheat Engine
To utilize cheat codes in Cyberpunk 2077, you can only do so on PC. The cheats are enabled through the developer console, which is not accessible in the retail version of the game. However, PC mods provide the ability to unlock the developer console. One recommended mod for this purpose is Cyber Engine Tweaks, which not only opens the console but also enhances performance and allows for skipping the start menu.
Installing the mod is straightforward. Download the latest release from GitHub and extract the files to the game’s install path. Remember to disable any overlays (e.g., GeForce Experience, Fraps) while using the mod. Once installed, set your display to windowed or borderless window mode, open Cyberpunk 2077, and press the tilde key (“`” or “~”) to access the console and enter commands.
