All Red Dead Redemption cheats for single-player

There are lots of Red Dead Redemption cheat codes you can enter to amp up the ridiculousness in your outlaw adventure. They range from invincibility, unlimited ammo, and unlimited Dead Eye, letting you become the ultimate outlaw, or even granting yourself flaming bullets or summoning a rideable donkey to venture across the plains atop.

Of the 39 cheats available, just under half of them are available from the get-go, but the rest must be unlocked by manually typing code phrases that are hidden around the world of Red Dead Redemption into the in-game cheats menu. So, to make this a much less tedious process for you, we've rounded up a full table of Red Dead Redemption cheats below, including the phrases you need to enter, so you should get back to rootin’, tootin’, and shootin’ in no time.

If you're more interested in the sequel, then you can also check out all of the Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats here!

Before getting to the full list of Red Dead Redemption cheats, you need to know how you activate them. Pause the game, select the ‘Options’ menu, then select the ‘Cheats’ menu. This will bring up a list of all the cheats you have unlocked – you should have some cheats on the list already, but there are plenty more to add to them!

To get more cheats, press Y on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation, or X on Nintendo Switch to bring up your console’s keyboard, or follow the appropriate prompt on PC. Now you can type in the relevant phrases, one at a time, from the list below.

Be warned: activating a cheat code while playing Red Dead Redemption single-player will disable autosaves and Achievements or Trophies. Turning off any cheats won’t suddenly fix this, so to get back to normal you need to reload a previous save to reach a point before you activated any cheats. If you plan on using any cheats, it’s always good to save at a campfire or settlement just before you activate them to ensure you don’t lose any progress.
