Here's how to enable debug mode to use cheats in Crusader Kings 3
Looking for a full list of the CK3 console commands? Check out to enable cheats with the Crusader Kings 3 debug mode.
You may want to know how to activate the Crusader Kings 3 debug mode so you can use console commands and enable cheats, allowing you to customise the experience to your liking a bit more.
If you're struggling a bit with all the mechanics, or just want a fresh experience with the game, check out our guide on using debug mode and cheats.
How to enable debug mode
Enabling the debug mode for Crusader Kings 3 isn't a difficult process, but it does come with the major downside of disabling all achievements, so you may want to think about that before going through with it. Here's the full process for launching the game in debug mode:
- Right-click Crusader Kings 3 on your Steam library
- Select 'Properties'
- Click the 'General' tab
- Select 'Set Launch Options'
- Type "-debug_mode" into the text box
- Launch the game
Now every time you launch Crusader Kings 3 the debug mode will be enabled, so if you want to turn it off, you will need to remove the lines from the launch options text box.
There is a slightly different process for turning on debug mode if you are using the Xbox Game Pass version of CK3. Here's how to do it:
- Search 'Command Prompt' in the Windows search bar.
- Paste this command into the command prompt text box (without the quotation marks) and press the Enter key: "start shell: AppsFolder\ParadoxInteractive.ProjectTitus_zfnrdv2de78ny!App -debug_mode".
- This will load up the game's client, so just click 'Play' and debug mode will be enabled.
Crusader Kings 3 console commands
