The legendary trio of Grand Theft Auto games from the PlayStation 2 era has returned in a single package with Grand Theft Auto Trilogy. GTA Trilogy includes Grand Theft Auto III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, offering you potentially hundreds of hours to spend driving fast and shooting free in a variety of urban locales.
If you’re eager to jump back into this blast of nostalgia, I can’t blame you, and we have specific unlock times for each platform right here. One of our favorite things about classic GTA games has always been cheats. More health, more guns, tanks, you name it. This is one of the simple pleasures we can derive from Grand Theft Auto, and while GTA Trilogy removes some cheats, many of the very best ones are still there. If causing mayhem is how you get your nostalgia kicks, then you need the cheats we’ve listed below.
These San Andreas console cheats have been confirmed to work on PlayStation 5, and the cheats listed use PlayStation inputs. The equivalent buttons on both Xbox and Nintendo Switch should also activate the same cheats.
How to activate cheats in GTA Trilogy
Activating cheats in the GTA Trilogy is actually very simple. On PC, you just have to begin typing with your keyboard, and on console, you can just begin inputting the commands below at any point while roaming the open world.
Just keep in mind, you won’t be able to disable any of these cheats — and unfortunately, it’s the messiest cheats that are the most fun. If you want to play around with the cheats below, you should consider either starting a new game, or making a fresh save to not ruin any progress. Some cheats may even disable earning achievements and trophies.
