About & methodology

Built by players, for players

GTA Cheat Codes is an independent fan resource for Grand Theft Auto cheat codes. We cover GTA 5, San Andreas, Vice City, GTA 4, GTA 3, the Definitive Edition trilogy and the handheld spin-offs, and we keep a page tracking GTA 6. The structured database currently holds 208 codes.

How codes are sourced and checked

Every cheat for GTA 5, San Andreas, Vice City, GTA 4 and GTA 3 lives in one structured database. Each entry stores the PlayStation button sequence, the PC code and any phone number. The tables, the Cheat Finder, the Combo Trainer and the Cheat Roulette all read from it, so a code can't say one thing on one page and something else on another.

Codes are cross-checked against long-standing community references. Where a code differs between releases, or a console version couldn't be confirmed, the entry says so or leaves the console code out instead of guessing. Codes for Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories and Chinatown Wars were checked against at least two independent references.

How Xbox and Switch combos are generated

The games map cheats button for button across controllers. We store the PlayStation sequence and convert it:

  • Xbox: Cross → A, Circle → B, Square → X, Triangle → Y, L1 → LB, R1 → RB, L2 → LT, R2 → RT.
  • Switch (Definitive Edition): Cross → B, Circle → A, Square → Y, Triangle → X, L1 → L, R1 → R, L2 → ZL, R2 → ZR.

What we will never do

  • Publish "GTA Online cheats", money generators or mod menus. Single-player cheats don't work online, and tools that claim otherwise are scams or get accounts banned.
  • Invent codes for unreleased games. The GTA 6 page only reports what has been confirmed.

Found a wrong code?

If a code doesn't work on your copy, note the game, the platform and the version (original, remaster or Definitive Edition). Release differences are the most common cause, and we'll update the entry.
