GTA Vice City cheats: PlayStation
53 button codes for PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5
Classic GTA cheats › Vice City: PlayStation
There are 53 button cheats for GTA Vice City on PlayStation, and the same codes work from the PS2 original to the Definitive Edition on PS4 and PS5.
Enter a code during play, quickly, with the D-pad for directions. A message at the top left confirms it. Each code below was checked against at least two sources.
How to enter cheats on PlayStation
Press the buttons in order while Tommy is on foot or in a car. You do not pause the game. If nothing happens, you were too slow or missed a button, so start the code again from the first press.
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.
