Anno 2205 Console Commands May 2026

The following commands have been verified as functional in Anno 2205 version 1.8 (Orbit DLC and later). They are grouped by function.

Because there is no internal console, the Anno 2205 community has relied on third-party software to modify game values. The most prominent method is using Cheat Engine.

Since Anno 2205 stores data like Credits, Licenses, and Module counts in specific memory addresses while the game is running, Cheat Engine allows players to scan and alter these values.

How it generally works:

Note: While widely used, third-party tools always carry a inherent risk regarding game stability or anti-cheat software. Always ensure your game is offline or that you are not affecting online leaderboards before modifying game files. anno 2205 console commands

Reduces construction time for all buildings by ~90%.

Anno2205.exe -SkipIntro
