GTA Vice City Cheat Codes: All PC, PS, Xbox & Mobile Codes

Want a tank mid-game, maxed-out armor, or cars that fly over Ocean Beach? The original Vice City has 58 typed codes, all but four of them with a controller combination, and the Definitive Edition adds four more. Pick your platform below and the list adapts. Codes go in during gameplay, and a “Cheat activated” message confirms each one.

Every GTA Vice City cheat code

Platform PC / Mobile PlayStation Xbox

On PC and mobile: type the code as letters during gameplay. On the Netflix mobile version, open Options, then the Accessibility tab, then Enter Cheat Code.

On a PlayStation controller: input the button combination quickly during gameplay.

On an Xbox controller: these are the Xbox One and Series X|S combos. On the original Xbox, the trigger inputs (LT/RT) were on the White and Black buttons.

Re-entering a weapon code while you already hold those guns tops up the ammo, so the packs double as an infinite-ammo trick. The Definitive Edition adds Big Head Mode (EXPANDDOME on PC), which consoles trigger with the Konami code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, then Circle, Cross on PlayStation or B, A on Xbox).

Spawned vehicles appear on the nearest road node, not right in front of Tommy, and climbing into one in front of a cop earns you a one-star wanted level, just like a carjacking. In the original game, no code spawns an aircraft or a boat. The Definitive Edition changes that with two typed codes, listed further down.

IWANTITPAINTEDBLACK is a nod to the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” (“I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black”). The remaster broke the joke: traffic turns bright green instead.

Start a mission with a character skin active and Tommy keeps that look in the cutscenes too, which makes for some strange Lance Vance monologues.

Keyboard-only, removed and new codes

Four classic codes never had a console combo, and one PlayStation 2 combo never had a typed version. Sources disagree on which of them survived into The Definitive Edition: GTA Wiki lists them all as missing, GTABase still lists most of them. Both agree on two losses: the invisible cars code WHEELSAREALLINEED and the cigarette code CERTAINDEATH.

The remaster also brought four codes of its own, typed on PC and mobile. Only Big Head Mode has a console input, the Konami code.

How Vice City’s cheats work

The 2002 original uses the same cheat system as GTA III: no menu, just a sequence typed or pressed mid-game. The original even accepts codes from the pause menu. Cheating has a hidden cost: most codes knock 1,000 points off your criminal rating, and the game warns you when you try to save after using one.

Most players now go through GTA: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition, released November 11, 2021 on PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch and PC, then on mobile via Netflix on December 14, 2023. Nearly every code carried over, four new ones arrived, and a cheat now disables trophies and achievements on that save.

Cheats on mobile: Netflix and Android

On the Netflix version, tap the map in the corner of the screen, open Options, go to the Accessibility tab and tap Enter Cheat Code, just below Color Blind Mode. A keyboard pops up and the PC codes work as-is. Pair a controller and the console combos work too.

The older Android app has its quirks. You hold the Home button to bring up the keyboard, PANZER gives you a Landstalker the first time instead of a tank and random cars after that, and LEAVEMEALONE only removes two stars instead of clearing the wanted level.

Our expert tips

Save to a separate slot before your first cheat: the riot and hatred codes are unforgiving. Since no code hands you cash, a clean campaign still runs through Tommy’s businesses. And if you’re chasing achievements in The Definitive Edition, keep the codes for a sandbox save.

Our Trilogy Definitive Edition review covers where to replay the classics, and our Vice City retrospective tells the story of the 2002 original. Curious what became of the city?
