The Forest: All cheats at a glance

With cheats you can make your gaming experience in The Forest easier, harder or just more varied. In this practical tip we show you which cheats are available.

The Forest: Activate cheats

To use a cheat in The Forest, you have to go to the main menu from the game. There you simply enter the cheat, for example "veganmode", using the keyboard.

• The cheats work both in single player and in multiplayer. If The Forest is restarted, all cheats are deactivated again. However, the cheats can also be turned off in-game.
• You can also use the cheats on PlayStation 4. In contrast to many other games, the console version does not have its own cheats. To enter the cheats, you simply need to connect a USB keyboard to the console.

These cheats are there

The following cheats were integrated in the game from the beginning. All new cheats can be found in the next paragraph.
