Rockstar Games' 2018 action-adventure video game Red Dead Redemption 2
lets players roam the 1899 American West as outlaw Arthur Morgan. There
are no rules in the Wild West, so it's no surprise the game has cheat
codes to increase your health, stamina, and Deadeye level. If you want
to unlock all outfits, there's a code for that, too. We show you how to
unlock all of it.
Note: These cheats apply to both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Red Dead Redemption 2.
How to Unlock Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheats
Here's how to input cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2 on both the Xbox One and PS4:
- Pause the game.
- Select Settings.
- Press Triangle on the PlayStation 4 controller or Y on the Xbox One controller to access the cheat menu.
- Input one of the cheat codes below.
- The cheat is now unlocked, and you can turn it on or off from the cheat menu.
Note: You don't have to input the code each time you play as long as you save the game after enabling the cheat.
Some cheats cannot be unlocked until you purchase certain newspapers in the game world. You must have the newspaper in your inventory when you enter the corresponding code.
