The Witcher 3 Console Commands

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has no button-combo or redeemable cheat codes on any platform. Cheating is done exclusively through the PC-only built-in debug (developer) console, which is unlocked by editing general.ini (DBGConsoleOn=true) on the standard editions and via a small mod/enabler on some next-gen builds. All commands are typed, CASE-SENSITIVE, and entered after opening the console with the tilde (~), backquote, or F2 key. There is no console on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or mobile.

Before you use cheats: PC ONLY. No cheats exist on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or mobile. The console must be enabled by editing general.ini (add DBGConsoleOn=true) or, on some next-gen builds, via a Nexus mod; back up the file first. Commands are CASE-SENSITIVE and item codes go inside apostrophes, e.g. additem('Aerondight'). Good news: using the debug console does NOT disable Steam/GOG achievements in The Witcher 3 (confirmed by community testing), and there is no online component, so there is no ban risk. Caveats: some commands are destructive and cannot be undone in the current session, so save first. cleardevelop wipes your inventory and resets Geralt to level 1; witchcraft (adds one of every item) can overload/crash the game; setting an extreme setlevel or removeitem on quest items can break quests or saves. Spawning or removing the wrong items can corrupt a playthrough, so keep a separate backup save before heavy console use.

How to enter cheats

PC

1) Browse to the game's install folder (Steam: right-click game > Properties > Installed Files > Browse; then bin\config\base\general.ini. GOG/Epic: same bin\config\base\general.ini path). 2) Open general.ini in Notepad and add a new line at the bottom: DBGConsoleOn=true 3) Save the file and launch the game. 4) In-game, press the tilde (~) / backquote key (or F2 on some builds) to open the console. 5) Type a command exactly as written (commands ARE case-sensitive) and press Enter. Back up general.ini before editing.

PC

NEXT-GEN / Complete Edition alternative: The general.ini DBGConsoleOn=true method works on most next-gen builds. If the console will not open after the .ini edit, install a community Debug Console Enabler mod from Nexus Mods (extract its bin and content folders into the game directory), then open the console with ~ or F2/F4. No mod is needed for the classic/old-gen version.

The Witcher 3 item-code table is huge: the Commands.gg database lists 4,231 distinct additem item codes (plus separate large tables for spawn/NPC IDs, skill IDs, and weather IDs). The codes above are the most-searched weapons, witcher-gear sets, consumables, and currency, captured with their exact additem syntax. For the complete, authoritative, searchable item-ID list use the Commands.gg database (https://commands.gg/witcher3/items, 4,231 entries) and its spawn/skill subpages. No item IDs were invented; any code whose exact descriptive name could not be fully verified (e.g. specific Cat/Bear/Griffin tier numbers) is noted as following the tiered naming pattern rather than asserted blindly.

FAQ

How do you enable cheats in The Witcher 3?

On PC you turn on the debug console by editing the game's general.ini config file to enable the console, then open it in-game and type commands. Commands are case-sensitive, so type them exactly as shown.

Are there cheats for The Witcher 3 on PS4, PS5, or Xbox?

No. The debug console and its commands are available only on the PC version. There are no built-in cheat codes for the PlayStation or Xbox releases; console players can only use in-game exploits.

Is there a money cheat in The Witcher 3?

Yes, on PC. The debug console includes a command that adds crowns to your inventory, letting you grant yourself any amount of money instantly. It works on the base game and the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions.

Do cheats or console commands disable achievements in The Witcher 3?

Generally no. The Witcher 3's debug console commands do not block Steam, GOG, or other achievements, so you can use them and still unlock trophies, though using them on a fresh save is still recommended.

Can you spawn items and gear with console commands?

Yes. An additem-style command lets you spawn weapons, armor, crafting materials, and other gear by their internal item name. Each item has a specific ID you enter exactly, including the quantity you want.

Is there a god mode or instant level-up cheat?

Yes, on PC. The console has a god mode command for invincibility and a command to add character levels, letting you raise Geralt's level quickly instead of grinding experience.
