How to cheat in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on every platform where it's possible.

A long time ago in a galaxy much like our own, BioWare created one of the best role-playing games ever. It was called Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and many of us are still playing it to this day, making the most of all the fun KotOR cheats.

Every time that Aspyr (the company that seems to be trusted with the KotOR brand at the moment) ports the game onto a new system, interest in those good old KotOR cheat codes rears its head once again.

It remains to be seen if Aspyr's upcoming KotOR remake will support cheats, but their recent KotOR Switch release certainly does! BioWare's original PC version had cheats, too, although the Xbox version did not offer cheats (and still doesn't). The iOS and Android versions don't have cheats currently, but the Mac version does, if you were wondering.

So, what are the KotOR cheat codes and how do you use them on every platform that supports them? Keep on reading to learn all about KotOR cheat codes.

Fans have recently discovered that it is now possible to cheat with KotOR on Switch, and there's a rather unique method you have to use in order to make this happen. To cheat at the Switch version of KotOR, press down on the left stick three times and it will bring up a very handy cheat menu. If you can't work out how to do it, see the video below:

When you do depress the left stick on Switch, the following list of KotOR cheats will pop up, and you can take your pick:

Note: Under 'Create Item', you will find a list of items you can spawn for yourself. On this list you'll also find the option to give yourself money (referred to as 'credits' here).

The Xbox, iOS and Android versions of KotOR do not support cheats in the same way as the PC, Mac and Switch editions of the game. So unless you fancy yourself as a splicer that can jailbreak their devices and tamper with the files, you probably won't get KotOR cheats running on any of those devices. You'll just have to play the game the normal way!

It takes a bit of fiddling to activate cheats in KotOR if you're playing on a Windows computer. If you are playing on a PC via Steam, you'll need to follow these steps to activate KotOR cheats:

If you want to cheat in KotOR on a Mac, the steps to follow are quite different, but the end result is the same. Here's what you need to do:

Note: if you can't find your 'swkotor.ini' file by following the steps above, try following this path instead: Library > Application Support > Knights of the Old Republic. Your 'swkotor.ini' file might be hiding in there if you're playing on Mac via Steam. Once you've found it, pick up with the bullet point in the list above that starts with the words 'Right click'.

If that wasn't working for you, check out the video below. It'll teach you how to activate cheats in KotOR on Mac.

You don't need to put brackets around the number, but you do need to leave a space between the cheat and the number or words that come after it:
