GTA 6: Will Cheat Codes Be 'Massively Nerfed' Again?
A dedicated fan has initiated a community discussion regarding the potential status of cheat codes in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. Recalling their early experiences with Vice City and San Andreas, the user, /u/Sparks_H, shared how cheat codes provided 'purest joy,' especially as a non-English speaker who used them to create sandbox fun rather than follow the story. They specifically remember the 'PANZER' code for spawning a tank.
