  1. Save In A New Slot

    Cheats in GTA 3 can deactivate Trophies when playing on newer consoles, and some of the cheats are actually permanent and cannot be deactivated. For this reason you should create a new save.

    GTA 3 features many different cheat codes. Pick which ones you want to use from our list.

  3. Enter the Cheat

    To actually activate your chosen cheat, you'll need to press the relevant buttons in the correct sequence during gameplay, without pausing the game.

  4. Cheat Now Active

    By following these steps you will have successfully activated the cheat code. The game should show a pop-up confirming this.
