GTA Vice City cheats - All cheats for cars, weapons, pedestrians, and more
Leave your mark on the streets of Vice City
Published on
GTA Vice City cheats are how you bend the game to your will.
Vice City might not have quite as many cheats as other games in the storied series, but what it does have lets you do everything from raising your wanted level to spawning cars and new weapons.
How to enter cheats in GTA Vice City
Entering cheats is the same on console and PC. Just type the words (on PC) or press the button combination to activate the effect. There's no dialogue box or command area you need to open first. Note that most cheats will remain active, however, and there's no way to undo them.
If you're playing on a modern Xbox console, Black and White correspond to RB and LB.
Codes on Nintendo Switch function the same, so just press the corresponding buttons:
- X and A = B
- Square and X = Y
- Circle and B = A
- Triangle and Y = X
GTA Vice City cheats - Car cheats
As the name suggests, these are all to do with cars, getting cars, blowing cars up, and even controlling traffic flow.

Cheats can only get you so far in GTA Vice City, though. You'll want the best weapons and fastest cars to get the most out of your time on the streets. If you're sinking into the GTA Trilogy for the first time, check out our San Andreas and GTA 3 guides for more tips.
