GTA 3: All cheats for PS5, PS4, PS3 & PS2

With the release of the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, you can now use the GTA 3 cheats on the PS5, PS4, PS3 & PS2. At this point we will show you how you can enter and deactivate Playstation cheats and show you all the cheat codes with their key combinations and effects.

Enter & deactivate cheats (PS5, PS4, PS3 & PS2)

In GTA 3 you can enter cheats and in the PlayStation versions you simply have to enter the corresponding key combinations from the lists below in the current game. While you are in the pause or main menu, the cheat entry does not work. A message at the top left of the screen confirms that you have entered the cheat successfully.

Important NOTE: Since activated cheats can prevent the unlocking of trophies and achievements and the effects of some cheats cannot be undone, you should save your game status before using cheats. If you want to save your game with activated cheats, you should definitely use a separate memory slot.

How can you deactivate cheats? In GTA 3 you can usually deactivate cheats by entering the appropriate key combination again. However, once activated, two cheats cannot be undone for passers-by! It is all the more important that you save your game before using the cheats.

In the following we leave you all cheat codes for the versions of the PS5, PS4, PS3 & PS2 with their keyboard shortcuts and effects.
