Definitive Edition differences
The Definitive Edition (2021) tables list fewer cheats than the original release. Rockstar removed some cheats from that edition for technical reasons, without saying which. A missing row only means no code is listed for that edition.
Big Head Mode is listed only in the Definitive Edition tables for PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.
PlayStation 4 has two versions with different tables: the 2015 re-release of the PS2 game and the Definitive Edition. Check which one you own and use the matching table in the PlayStation tab.
PC versions
The original PC release has two armor rows because version 1.0 spells that code differently from version 1.1 and later.
Is there a money cheat in GTA 3?
Yes. The money cheat gives you $250,000. It is listed in the PC, PlayStation and Switch tables and the original Xbox table, but not in the Xbox Series and Xbox One table.
How do you enter cheats in GTA 3?
On PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, enter the button sequence during gameplay; no menu is needed. On PC, type the code on your keyboard during gameplay. There is no box to type it into.
Do PS2 cheats work on PS4 and PS5?
The 2015 PS4 re-release of the PS2 game shares one table with the PS2 original, though 8 of its 23 rows are listed for PS2 only. The Definitive Edition on PS4 and PS5 has its own table, so check which version you own and use the matching one.
Do cheats work in the GTA 3 Definitive Edition?
Yes. This page lists Definitive Edition codes for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Switch. Its tables list fewer codes than the original release, and Rockstar removed some cheats from that edition; a missing row only means no code is listed.
Do cheats turn off achievements in GTA 3?
In the Definitive Edition, yes: using cheats turns off achievements. Saving after using cheats can also damage your save file, so keep a separate save made without cheats.
