How do I enter cheats in GTA Vice City on PC?
Type the cheat code directly while playing — no prefix, no menu. Just type the letters. A confirmation message appears at the top left if the cheat is accepted.

GTA Vice City Cheat Codes — Full Verified List (PC, PS2, Xbox)
Important disclaimer
Single-player only. Vice City has no online mode, so all cheats are safe to use without account risk. They do not disable trophies in the original release but do disable the Definitive Edition's achievements.
GTA Vice City cheats are entered as keyboard strings on PC (no key combo required — just type while playing) or as controller button combos on PS2/Xbox. They are official Rockstar-built features that toggle effects like weapons, wanted level, and vehicles.
GTA Vice City cheat codes — all PC keyboard strings
Type these during gameplay — no console or menu required. A brief on-screen message confirms activation. Console versions use equivalent button combos. Cheats do not disable saving in the original Vice City, but do disable achievements in the Definitive Edition.
PC (Original & Definitive Edition)
Type the cheat string during active gameplay. A confirmation message appears at the top-left corner.
PS2 / Xbox
Use the corresponding controller button sequence. The codes below are PC keyboard strings only.
- The Definitive Edition (2021) disables achievements when any cheat is active.
- Changing Tommy's skin with cheats may cause minor animation glitches.
- Vehicle spawn cheats require open ground — spawning in a tight area can cause the vehicle to explode.
