GTA 3: All cheats for the Nintendo Switch
With the release of the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, you can play GTA 3 on the Nintendo Switch for the first time. At this point we will show you how you can enter and deactivate cheats on the switch and show you all the cheat codes with their key combinations and effects.
Enter & deactivate cheats (Nintendo Switch)
In GTA 3 you can enter cheats and in the Switch version 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 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 switch version with their keyboard shortcuts and effects.
Cheats for weapons, money, wanted level etc.
