How it's used

Originally referring to a secret technique or special skill in martial arts or crafts, this term has been widely adopted by gamers to describe exploits or cheat codes. It implies a clever or unconventional shortcut that bypasses standard gameplay mechanics. While it can refer to official hidden features, it is most frequently used for unauthorized hacks or glitches.

Common phrases

to look for cheats

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 絕招, which refers to a character's signature move or ultimate ability in a game. 秘技 implies a trick or exploit external to the character's intended design, whereas 絕招 is a legitimate part of the game mechanics.
