GTA Vice City cheats: PC

54 codes to type during play

There are 54 typed cheats for GTA Vice City on PC. You type the word during play and it takes effect at once.

There is no console to open. Just type the code on the keyboard while playing. Capitals do not matter. Each code was checked against at least two sources.

How to enter cheats on PC

Type the whole word while Tommy is on foot or in a vehicle. A message confirms it. Some cheats switch off when you type them again; the riot and pedestrians-attack cheats do not.

Sources disagree about which Hotring Racer and which Bloodring Banger each of the paired codes gives you, so try both.

Cheats switch off trophies and achievements for that save in the Definitive Edition, so keep a clean save if you care about them. Do not save while the riot or pedestrians-attack cheats are on: they stay on for good in that save. There is no money cheat in Vice City; sites that list one are wrong.
