Enable Developer Console (PC Only)
cyberpunk-2077 — Cheat Codes
Opens the hidden developer console, allowing you to input cheat commands, spawn items, and tweak game variables. This is the foundation for all other cheats.
Syntax
Edit the file: [Steam/Epic/GOG install path]\Cyberpunk 2077\engine\config\platform\pc\user.ini and add: DBGConsoleOn=true. Then press the tilde key (~) in-game.Example
Add 'DBGConsoleOn=true' to user.ini, launch game, press ~ to open console.💡 Notes
PC only. Not available on PS5 or Xbox Series. Requires game restart after editing. Disables achievements while console is active.
🎯 Tips & Tricks
Before using console commands, manually copy your save files to a safe folder to prevent corruption.
Install Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET) for a more user-friendly console interface with autocomplete and history.
Console commands may change with game patches; verify your game version matches the command syntax you use.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Console doesn't open after pressing ~
Ensure the user.ini file is in the correct path and has no typos. Also, try pressing the key above Tab (backtick) or F2.
Game crashes when opening console
Remove any conflicting mods, especially older versions of CET, and update to the latest game patch.
