Red Dead 2 PC Cheats - Red Dead Redemption 2 Guide - IGN (2024)

Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC, unlike GTA 5 for PC, and many other PC games does not include console command cheats. We've confirmed that hitting ~ does nothing, and does not bring up a console. However, Red Dead 2's cheat system from PS4 and Xbox One is included in the PC version, and you can find those cheats below.

To enter "classic" cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC:

• Pause the game, select SETTINGS and press and enter the Cheats menu.
• Enter a code from the list below.
• Once you enter a code you'll see a message confirming that you've unlocked the cheat -- and if you save your game, you won't have to enter it again.
• After entering a code you can toggle the cheat OFF or ON in the Cheats menu.
