GoldenEye 007 cheats code list
Every GoldenEye cheat
How do you unlock cheats in GoldenEye 007? The classic 1997 FPS, GoldenEye 007, has for many years been an elusive beast coveted by James Bond fans and Rare enthusiasts alike, assuming they don't have access to a Nintendo 64 and an original cartridge. But now, for many of us, the long wait is over with the re-release of the original GoldenEye 007 onto Xbox Game Pass and Nintendo Switch.
For PC gamers, while GoldenEye 007 technically hasn't still hit our platform of choice, those with a Game Pass subscription can stream it via Xbox Cloud Gaming. And, of course, as with all good retro games, you can make liberal use of cheats in GoldenEye 007 to ensure you have an interesting time.
How to unlock cheats in GoldenEye 007
In GoldenEye 007, "cheats" are really more like secrets. They exist quite openly on the game's cheat selection screen and exist to reward you for being a good 007 with more content. The rewards range from traditional weapon and item unlocks, all the way up to the likes of bonus levels and unofficial difficulty modes.
In classic GoldenEye 007, there were two means of unlocking cheats. The first was to complete a gameplay feat that would give you access to its corresponding cheat, which would then allow you to redeem its rewards on the cheat selection screen. But if you lacked the time or patience for that, then you could go to the cheat selection screen and enter a cheat code in order to access the specified cheat immediately.
GoldenEye 007 cheats don't work on Xbox
It's important to note that in the Xbox re-release of GoldenEye 007, inputting cheat codes to unlock cheats will not work. Cheat codes will, allegedly, still work on the Nintendo Switch version, although reports suggest that this feature is patchy in practice. Therefore, if you're streaming GoldenEye 007 to your PC, you'll have to unlock cheats the old-fashioned way.
