CheatsMagazine

Editorial · Established 2007

The Cheat Magazine, since 2007.

CheatsMagazine launched in 2007 as one of the earliest dedicated cheat code references on the open web — a time when most gamers still kept print magazines on their desks and copied codes by hand.

A short history

The original CheatsMagazine site went live in 2007, in the golden era of cheat compendiums alongside publications like Tips & Tricks and Cheat Code Central. For over a decade the domain served as a community-maintained list of console cheats, PC commands and walkthroughs, archived periodically by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine across 154+ snapshots.

After a quiet period the original domain became available again. In 2026 the editorial team relaunched CheatsMagazine with a new mandate: bring the cheat magazine format into the modern Roblox era while preserving everything that made classic cheat references useful — verified codes, platform-specific instructions, and an honest separation between active and expired entries.

What we cover

CheatsMagazine is divided into two editorial pillars:

  • Roblox Codes — Promo codes for popular Roblox experiences like Blox Fruits, Adopt Me, King Legacy, Pet Simulator X and dozens more. Codes are categorised as active or expired, with rewards, redemption steps and an editorial freshness badge.
  • Game Cheat Codes — Cheat databases for classic and current console / PC titles (GTA 5, Minecraft, The Sims 4, Skyrim, Stardew Valley and more), organised per platform: PC, PlayStation 4 / 5, Xbox One / Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.

Heritage archive · 2007 — 2012

Independent backlink analytics still index hundreds of references to the original CheatsMagazine from gaming forums, fansites and directories of the late-2000s era. The anchor text on those legacy links shows exactly which titles drove the most traffic to the original publication:

  • The Sims 2 — including the Double Deluxe edition (2008), one of the most referenced articles in the original archive.
  • Counter-Strike 1.6 — the GoldSrc-era sv_cheats console reference that travelled across LAN café guides for years.
  • Ninja Saga — the 2010 Facebook-era ninja RPG (servers shut down in 2019) generated waves of inbound links during its peak. Preserved here as historical context only.
  • GTA San Andreas, The Sims 3, classic console walkthroughs and dozens of smaller titles maintained continuous inbound references through the entire 2007 — 2012 window.

Rather than retire that audience, the 2026 relaunch is deliberately rebuilding modern pages for the titles the original CheatsMagazine was best known for — paired with the new Roblox era catalogue for the next generation of players.

Editorial standards

Every page is checked against community wikis, publisher patch notes and direct developer announcements. Expired codes are kept visible so players know what has already been redeemed. Pages carry a last updated badge so you can tell at a glance whether the information is current.

Cheats are documented for single-player and offline contexts. CheatsMagazine does not host, distribute or endorse exploits, modified clients or unauthorised software, and we are not affiliated with any game publisher.
