GTA 3 Cheats

From GTA BOOM Wiki

These cheats for the Xbox (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox), PlayStation (PS5, PS4, PS3 and PS2), PC and Switch versions of Grand Theft Auto 3 will help whether you've finished all of the game's standard content but aren't ready to leave Rockstar's rendition of Liberty City behind, or if you need a bit of divine intervention to get past a particularly difficult mission.

First, save your game before entering any cheat codes in GTA 3. This ensures you can go back to a clean state once you're done using them.

Then, if your playing on a console, simply enter the button combination during gameplay, without pausing. If you are on PC, type in the cheat code during gameplay, again without pausing. You can turn off any cheat by entering the code again.

Just remember that using cheat codes in GTA 3 will disable Achievements and Trophies for the rest of your session, so load up that last save game you made if you want to start earning them again!

Frequently Asked Questions


What happened to the invisible cars, speed up time and increased gore cheats?

Those cheat codes were removed from the new "Definitive Edition" of GTA 3.

When was GTA 3 first released?

GTA 3 was first released for PC on May 21, 2002. It was then included in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition, released on November 11, 2021.

Can I use these cheats on the original Xbox console?

Yes, it was included in the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, released on November 11, 2021.

Can I still get Achievements together with using cheats?

No, Achievements are disabled the moment you use cheats, that's why we recommend creating a new save game before activating them.

Should I create a separate save file before using cheats in GTA 3?

Yes, it's essential to create a new save file to keep your non-cheats and cheats saves separate. Using cheat codes can affect your ability to earn Achievements, and some cheats are irreversible. Having a clean save point to return to is crucial.

Are there any new cheats exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version of GTA 3?

Yes, the Nintendo Switch version of GTA 3 includes a new "Big Head" cheat code. This cheat is inspired by the classic Konami code and can be activated by pressing the following buttons in sequence: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B.

What should I do if the cheat code doesn't work?

If the cheat code doesn't work on your first attempt, make sure you are entering the button combination quickly and in the correct order. If it still doesn't work, try adjusting your controller layout by switching between the "classic" and "modern" settings, which can be found in the options menu. After changing the layout, attempt to enter the code again.

Does the use of cheat codes stop me obtaining Trophies in GTA 3?

That's correct, you cannot earn Trophies with cheats active.

When was GTA 3 launched on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4?

On November 11, 2021, when Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was released.
