How To Use Console Commands & Cheats in The Witcher 3

First and foremost, if you wish to use console commands and cheats while playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you need to enable the game's debug console. To do this using the Steam copy of The Witcher 3, follow the instructions below:

  • Right-click The Witcher 3 in your Steam Library.
  • Select 'Properties', then 'Local Files', then request to 'Browse Local Files'.
  • Click through the 'bin' folder, then the 'config' folder, and then the 'base' folder.
  • Right-click 'general.ini' and open it using Notepad.
  • At the bottom of the note, paste 'DBGConsoleOn=true.'
  • Save and close before opening The Witcher 3.

Once this is completed, all you need to do is open the debug console once you're in game. You can do this simply by hitting the tilde key, also known as '~'. Then, type in whichever commands you choose and off you go! We have listed all possible commands for you to play with, by category, below.

If you own The Witcher 3 by other means on your PC, the process to enable the debug console is the exact same as if you were doing it via Steam. Instead of opening the game's local files using Steam, you will instead need to access these using the Windows Explorer and locating your installation file for the game.
