  • How long has MegaDev existed? 

    MegaDev was founded in 2015, but its roots go back to 2001, when co-founder Christian Jänicke built the "MegaTrainer XL" — one of the first all-in-one game trainers.

  • How is PLITCH different from PLITCH's predecessor, MegaTrainer? 

    MegaTrainer was the original software from 2001. PLITCH is its modern successor, relaunched in 2020 and fully rebuilt in 2023 with new technology and mobile apps.

  • How is PLITCH different from competitors like WeMod/Wand? 

    PLITCH supports more games than competitors and is the only trainer platform offering cheats that make games harder, not just easier. It's also fully GDPR-compliant and Sectigo-certified.

  • Where is MegaDev based? 

    MegaDev GmbH is headquartered in Munich, Germany, and moved into a larger office in February 2026 to support its growing team.

  • Has MegaDev raised funding? 

    Yes. MegaDev raised a $1.9M Series A round in January 2021 to scale PLITCH internationally.

  • Does PLITCH work in multiplayer games? 

    No. PLITCH is designed exclusively for single-player games. Its built-in "PLITCH Gateway" firewall actively blocks the software in multiplayer modes.

  • How much does PLITCH cost? 

    PLITCH offers a free tier as well as a paid Premium subscription with full access to the cheat library, guides, trainers and many more features.

  • Why do people use PLITCH instead of free cheat codes online?

    Free cheat codes are often outdated, unreliable, or bundled with malware. PLITCH keeps every code updated with 1,000+ patches per month and is Sectigo-certified and antivirus-whitelisted, so codes work reliably and safely.

  • Can PLITCH get my account banned?

    No, when used as intended. PLITCH is built exclusively for single-player games, and its "PLITCH Gateway" firewall actively prevents the software from functioning in multiplayer or online modes — the scenario that typically leads to bans.

  • Does PLITCH modify my game files?

    No. PLITCH only makes temporary changes to your PC's memory while the game is running. Your original game files are never altered, so there's no risk of corrupting a save or breaking an update.

    PLITCH works with games from Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and other major PC platforms, and includes companion apps for iOS and Android.

    MegaDev was co-founded by Christian Jänicke, who created the original MegaTrainer software in 2001, together with Robert Maroschik, who now serves as CEO.

  • Does MegaDev work with game developers and publishers? 

    Yes. MegaDev collaborates with select publishers and developers on marketing and integration initiatives, in addition to operating PLITCH as an independent modding platform.

  • Is MegaDev a German company? 

    Yes. MegaDev GmbH is headquartered in Munich, Germany, and complies with GDPR and other strict EU data protection standards.

  • What makes PLITCH different from a standard game trainer?

    PLITCH offers both free and paid Premium tiers. Free users get access to a selection of cheats, while Premium unlocks the full code library, guides, many more other features and even more faster support.

  • Is PLITCH a legal game modding platform? 

    Yes. PLITCH only makes temporary changes to your PC's memory while a game runs — it never modifies game files or violates copyright. It's built exclusively for single-player use, and its "PLITCH Gateway" firewall prevents it from working in multiplayer or online modes.

  • Can I make my single-player games harder or easier with PLITCH?

    Yes. PLITCH lets you customize single-player games in both directions — activate cheats like God Mode to breeze through tough sections, or use PLITCH's unique hardcore cheats to make a game more challenging than it was designed to be.
