How to use cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2
To use cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2, you will first want to open up the main menu. Here, open your 'Settings'. Next, look for 'Cheats' in the lower right-hand corner and press the corresponding button; this should be Triangle on PlayStation and Y on Xbox.
Press the button a second time, and you'll then be able to manually input a cheat code of your choice.
It is worth noting, however, that while cheats are active you will not be able to save your game, or unlock any Achievements and Trophies. So, using cheats is really just there to allow players to let their hair down for a while, rather than for aiding with progression.
If you're hoping for cheats that are a little more permanent and won't affect your ability to save your game, you might want to check out Red Dead Redemption 2's PC mods.
