GTA Vice City cheats are a simple way to equip Tommy Vercetti with an incredibly powerful set of tools, which can quickly boost your progress towards the top of the sun-drenched criminal enterprise. We have cheat codes to equip yourself with all of the main weapons, quickly max out your health and armor, or spawn in a vehicle of your choice so you can drive off into the sunset. If you're searching for an unlimited money cheat then sadly that doesn't exist, though you can of course use other options listed here to increase your cash earning potential. With plenty of choices available, it's up to you to decide whether it's time to build an empire or light the fuse and watch the city burn.

Before you start tinkering around with any GTA Vice City cheat codes, ensure you've saved you progress and keep that file safe. Some Grand Theft Auto Vice City cheats have permanent effects that can't be undone, and they can end up breaking the game entirely, so you need to ensure your progress is protected. Secondly, if you're playing a more recent version of the game then you may not be able to earn any trophies or achievements while cheats are active.

For various reasons, some existing cheats across the GTA Trilogy have not been included with the Definitive Edition releases, which we've tagged. Additionally, due to the process of porting over to the Definitive Edition, the triggers involved with the Xbox cheat codes are reversed from their original configurations.

How to use GTA Vice City cheats

To activate any of the GTA Vice City cheats on consoles, you just need to enter a series of button presses on your pad, making sure that the game isn't paused and you're not in a cutscene when you do this. The buttons still perform their usual actions while entering codes, so move to a quiet area first to make sure you don't accidentally attack a pedestrian or blow yourself up in the process.

Things are much easier on PC as you simply need to type in the cheat phrase using your keyboard, and there are even bonus codes that aren't available on consoles. For the Definitive Edition, you should be able to enter the controller codes on PC and type in the phrases on console if you have a compatible keyboard attached.

He is better known to many as ‘Mr Trophy’, due to his slightly unhealthy obsession with amassing intangible PlayStation silverware, and he now has over 600 Platinum pots weighing down the shelves of his virtual award cabinet. He does not care for Xbox Achievements.
