GTA Vice City: All cheats for the Nintendo Switch

As part of the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, you can play GTA Vice City for the first time on the Nintendo Switch and thus enter various cheats. At this point we show you all the cheats for the Nintendo Switch with their key combinations and effects.

Enter & deactivate cheats (Nintendo Switch)

In GTA Vice City you can enter cheats and in the Switch version you just have to enter the corresponding key combinations from the lists below in the current game. This works differently than with the GTA 3 cheats of the Switch version while you are in the pause menu. A message at the top left of the screen confirms the successful entry of the cheat.

Important NOTE: Since your crime rating drops by 1000 points with every activated cheat, 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. The use of cheat codes still allows 100% completion of the game.

How can you deactivate cheats? In GTA Vice City you can usually deactivate cheats by entering the appropriate key combination again.

In the following we list you all cheat codes of GTA Vice City for the Nintendo Switch with their keyboard shortcuts and effects. Incidentally, there is also a brand new cheat in the game, Big Head Mode, which you can activate using the famous Konami code. You can find this at the end of the table.
