Cheat codes may be a thing of the past, but they’re an integral part of the Grand Theft Auto series. With the launch of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — The Definitive Edition, we now have access to an enhanced version of the iconic classic on modern consoles. Much like GTA III — The Definitive Edition, this new version of Vice City retains all 46 cheat codes from the original, sending you on a nostalgia trip as you wreak havoc on the fictionalized rendition of Miami. These are all the cheat codes across all platforms, along with details on how these cheats impact trophies and achievements.
All confirmed
GTA: Vice City Definitive Edition cheats
The full list of GTA: Vice City — The Definitive Edition cheats can be found below. Based on our testing, every cheat code from the original works in the new version. It’s possible more cheats have been added that have been undiscovered, and if so, we’ll add those as they’re uncovered.
Cheats can be applied by entering the button/key inputs in the middle of the game (not from the pause menu). There’s no need to press the buttons in rapid succession.

Do the
GTA: Vice City Definitive Edition cheats disable trophies or achievements?
Driving around Vice City looks better than ever. Rockstar Games
Unfortunately, entering cheat codes while playing GTA: Vice City — The Definitive Edition will disable trophies on PlayStation and achievements on Xbox. You can have multiple save files, though, so if you want to earn the platinum trophy or 1,000 gamerscore, make sure you use a separate file for cheating.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — The Definitive Edition is available now.

GTA Vice City cheats and codes
Dave Irwin

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Looking for the best GTA Vice City cheat codes? First released in 2002, this open-world game brings the series’ special brand of mayhem to the 80s inspired Vice City. Of course, the streets are already fairly chaotic, but you can always enter some cheat codes if you want to add even more destruction.
These GTA trilogy cheat codes are unchanged from the game’s original release 20 years ago. So far, we haven’t yet been able to confirm they all still work, as in an interview with USA Today, producer Rich Rosado disclosed that a few cheat codes haven’t made it in due to technical limitations. A lot has changed in the world since GTA Vice City was released. Some of the cheat codes are a bit distasteful, more so with Vice City than any of the other games in the collection.
With that in mind, here are the best GTA Vice City cheats – including codes that give you new weapon sets, spawn vehicles from nowhere, change your character’s skin, and much more. There are plenty of cheats available in every GTA game – here are the best GTA 3 cheat codes and GTA San Andreas cheat codes.
