Few things are as satisfying as spawning a helicopter, flying to the nearest skyscraper rooftop, and just lobbing Molotovs to your heart’s content. It’s how I played GTA as a kid, and it’s how I hope the kids play it now, honestly. So, if you want to bend the rules and truly experience GTA as a sinful sandbox, you’re gonna need some GTA cheats.
So if you’re looking for a guaranteed good time in Vice City, San Andreas, and the other one from GTA 3, enjoy our list of all the cheats we could find for each entry. These have all been tested by us personally so should work, and we’ve omitted any that we couldn’t find versions that did work. If you know of anything we’ve missed, be sure to drop us an email.
Here’s our guide to every GTA: Definitive Edition Switch cheat.
