If you're looking to add a bit of extra fun or overcome tricky missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, these cheats for the Xbox (Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, Xbox 360, or the original Xbox), PlayStation (PS5, and PS4), PC, and Switch are just what you need.

Before you start using cheats, always make sure to save your game. This is crucial as it allows you to revert back to a clean game state if things get whacky or glitchy, or if you want to earn Achievements and Trophies later.

For console players, cheats are activated by entering specific button combinations directly during gameplay without pausing. On a PC, you need to type in the cheat codes while playing, also without pausing. If you want to deactivate a cheat, just input the same code again.

Remember, using cheats will disable Achievements and Trophies for that session, so if you plan to collect them, reload your saved game once you're done having fun with cheats.

How do GTA Vice City cheats work on the original Xbox?

You need to press the Black button for RB and the White button for LB. The other buttons are the same.
