From spawning tanks on Ocean Drive to giving Tommy Vercetti unlimited cash and ammo, GTA Vice City’s cheat codes still pack all the chaos and nostalgia players crave. Here’s every code you need for PS5, PS4, Xbox, PC, and mobile to bend Vice City to your will.
If you’ve recently jumped into the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, and managed to play through the games without too many hurdles, the following GTA Vice City cheats lists will add some variety, and chaos, to the world around you.
How to use cheats in GTA Vice City
Cheats in GTA Vice City are activated by entering specific codes during gameplay, depending on your platform. On PC, you can type the code directly while the game is running. Console players on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, or Xbox One must input the correct button combinations in quick succession using the controller. On mobile, open the on-screen keyboard via a connected device or use third-party tools that allow keyboard input. Once entered correctly, the cheat effect is applied instantly, giving you access to vehicles, weapons, health boosts, or fun gameplay changes.
Regardless of whether you’re using a keyboard or a controller, using cheats in GTA Vice City is fairly straightforward. You only need to either type down the code or follow the button input in order. If you successfully activate the cheat, you’ll see a message on the top left corner of the screen saying so.
Now, there are a few key factors to consider. If you activate multiple cheats in quick succession, it’s likely that the prompt won’t appear. If you want to double-check that the subsequent cheats are indeed active, try inputting it again, which in most cases should display a “cheat deactivated” message.
Also, if this is your first time using cheats in a GTA game, I recommend saving your progress first. Depending on the game, you might have to complete at least the introductory mission to both save your game and start using cheats. In addition, achievement and trophy progress will be disabled, so, once more, go ahead and save your game first. If you can create a separate save file, even better.
Lastly, some of the cheats no longer work in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. In those cases, we went ahead and included them after the cheats list. You’re free to give them a try yourself, but if they’re not included in the main list, it’s because they didn’t work during our tests.
GTA Vice City PC cheats list
The PC version of GTA Vice City offers a wide range of cheat codes that can change gameplay instantly, from spawning vehicles and weapons to altering weather and character stats. Players can type these cheats directly during gameplay without pausing the game. Whether you want infinite health, more cash, or to cause citywide chaos, these codes provide quick ways to experiment and have fun across Vice City’s streets.
Below are all the PC cheats for GTA Vice City, starting with the ones corresponding to weapons, money, health, and armor.
GTA Vice City PC cheats
PC players enter cheats by pausing the game, typing the code on the keyboard, and confirming activation-no controller needed. Iconic ones like PANZER for a Rhino tank, GETTHEREFAST for rapid speed boosts, and ASPIRINE to restore full health work instantly during missions or free roam. Codes stay case-insensitive, with many echoing the PlayStation button versions but adapted to letters, such as BIGBANG for massive destruction or PRECIOUSPROTECTION for invincibility. Experiment freely to dominate Vice City’s streets without limits.

GTA Vice City Switch cheats
Players on Nintendo Switch can use GTA Vice City cheats by entering button codes during gameplay, just like on consoles.

GTA Vice City iOS and Android cheats list
Players using the iOS or Android versions of GTA Vice City can access cheats through connected keyboards or on-screen key inputs with third-party tools. These codes provide quick changes like spawning vehicles, adjusting weather, gaining weapons, or modifying player stats. Since the mobile ports don’t support native cheat entry, players often use external keyboards or specific cheat apps to replicate the experience found on console and PC versions.
The iOS and Android cheats for GTA Vice City are kind of tricky, as you’re going to need either a third-party app that enables a digital keyboard, or an actual keyboard connected via Bluetooth, for example. If you don’t have an extra wireless keyboard lying around, proceed with caution when searching for an alternative method.
GTA Vice City iOS and Android cheats
GTA Vice City on iOS and Android supports the same classic cheat codes as other platforms, entered via the in-game chat box or phone. Tap the conversation icon during play to open the input field, then type codes like RHINOSNOW for heavy weapons, PANZER for a tank, or GETTHEREQ to spawn a Bloodring Banger. Touchscreen controls make activation quick-test them in free roam to avoid mission glitches. Mobile versions retain all original cheats from the PC release, with no App Store restrictions blocking entry. Players report smooth performance on recent devices running iOS 17 or Android 14.

Do GTA Vice City cheats disable trophies or achievements
Yes, GTA Vice City cheats disable trophies and achievements.
Entering any cheat code in the Definitive Edition (PS5, PS4, Xbox, PC, mobile/Netflix) locks you out of earning them for that session. The game displays a warning upon activation, and the block persists until you reload a pre-cheat save-using a separate save file beforehand lets you experiment without losing progress toward platinum trophies or 100% completion.
This mechanic aligns with Rockstar’s tradition in GTA games (like GTA IV onward), preventing cheated playthroughs from trivializing unlocks, though some older ports varied slightly.
How to re-enable trophies after using cheats in GTA Vice City
To re-enable trophies after using cheats in GTA Vice City, reload a save from before the cheats were activated.
The game flags the current save file upon cheat entry (with an on-screen warning), blocking achievements until you load a clean pre-cheat save-manual or autosave. No in-game toggle exists; re-entering cheats won’t lift the block, and editing save files risks corruption without reliable tools.
Prevention Tips
-
Always create a separate save before experimenting with cheats.
-
Use cheats only on dedicated “fun” save files to protect 100% runs or trophy progress.
-
If you’ve overwritten all clean saves (e.g., via autosave), start a new game-unfortunate but common user error.
