By GTA 6 Everything Editorial · · 1 min read
Rockstar hasn’t announced a wanted level cheat, or any cheat, for GTA 6, which isn’t out until November 19, 2026. So there is no code to clear or raise your stars yet. Previews describe a reworked wanted system, and how GTA 5’s cheats behaved tells you nothing certain about GTA 6.

Is there a wanted level cheat in GTA 6?
Not one that has been announced. With GTA 6 not out until November 19, 2026 and no word from Rockstar on whether it has cheat codes, there is nothing to raise or clear your stars yet. Rockstar Support’s GTA VI pages and the Newswire, as we read them on November 14, say nothing about cheats.
We don’t work from leaks or datamines, so no star-clearing code you may have seen elsewhere is repeated here. After launch we will update this page from our own play; for cheats in general, see our GTA 6 cheats hub.

How did wanted level cheats work in GTA 5?
This is history about the 2013 game. Grand Theft Wiki says GTA 5 had separate cheats to raise and to lower your wanted level, each input moving it by one star, and its table has no single cheat that wipes every star at once. The wiki’s wanted level page says GTA 5 tops out at five stars.
For GTA 5, Rockstar’s support article says achievements are “temporarily disabled” while cheats are on. Our GTA 5 cheats page lists the button inputs; we don’t copy them here.
Why GTA 5’s cheats are a weak guide to GTA 6
The police side has been reworked, by the developer’s account. Rob Nelson of Rockstar North told Famitsu the wanted system was overhauled and works like Red Dead Redemption 2’s, where a crime raises your level only if it is witnessed. IGN reports a six-star top level and icons under the stars showing what police know about your face and clothes. Our wanted system explainer has the detail, and the six-star feature covers the top end.
Whether GTA 6 has any shortcut that sets or clears stars is unknown. Rockstar hasn’t said, and none of the previews behind our wanted pages mention a cheat.

How do you lose a wanted level without cheats?
IGN reported ways to change what police know: a whole new outfit, a different vehicle, a mask worn during the crime, or splitting up Jason and Lucia when police know they are a couple. Those are preview reports, not tested. Our guide to losing the police collects them, and the disguises and vehicle swaps feature explains each. Rockstar hasn’t published how long heat lasts or what police send at each star.

What will we test after launch?
When the game unlocks, we will record on a named platform and date whether any cheat or menu changes your stars, whether it can raise them as well as clear them, and what it does to heat and trophies. Results will carry our testing label. Sister guides: weapon cheats and vehicle spawn cheats.
