GTA Vice City Cheats for PS5, PC, Xbox and Mobile

Vice City cheats are simple until someone gives you a code written for the wrong version of a game that has been rereleased repeatedly since 2002.
This guide covers Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on PS5 and PS4 through The Definitive Edition, modern Xbox consoles, Windows PC and the official Android and iOS Definitive Editions. The familiar codes still work, but their entry method—and their effect on your save—depends on where you are playing.
Save the game before entering anything
Create a separate manual save before activating a cheat. This is not fussy housekeeping: some pedestrian cheats cannot be properly reversed, and saving after activating them can leave their effects inside that save.
The Definitive Edition also disables trophies or achievements on a save after cheats are used. If completion matters to you, keep one clean save and use another for the afternoon in which every car in Vice City suddenly learns to fly.
These warnings are supported by current PC and Definitive Edition documentation and the corresponding PlayStation cheat reference.
Entering Vice City cheats on each platform
PS5 and PS4
Enter the controller combination during ordinary gameplay or from the pause menu. You do not need to open a separate cheat screen.
Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One
Use the same sequence as the PlayStation version, replacing the buttons according to this table:
PlayStationXboxCrossACircleBSquareXTriangleYL1 / L2LB / LTR1 / R2RB / RT
The directional-pad inputs remain the same.
Windows PC
Type the word shown in the PC and mobile tables during gameplay. Uppercase and lowercase letters both work, and a confirmation message should appear.
Android and iPhone
The mobile Definitive Edition has a proper cheat-entry field. Tap the mini-map, open Options, select Accessibility and tap Enter Cheat Code. You can then type the same text codes used on PC.
This method was independently documented by TouchArcade after testing the mobile release. If you are playing an older mobile port, the menu may not exist. Avoid modified APKs and questionable applications claiming to add cheats.

Do not save after activating the riot or pedestrian-attack cheats. Those are among the effects that may remain attached to the save rather than politely disappearing when the joke stops being funny.

There is no Vice City money cheat
While Vice City has no specific cheat that deposits money into Tommy’s account, using the Health Cheat code ASPIRINE does automatically increase his account. The frequently copied FULLCITYPEOPLEMINES property code and FREEWAYFORANGELJOY motorcycle code are fake.
Keep one clean save
Cheats are part of the appeal of classic GTA. They turn a familiar city into a playground and can rescue a player who wants to revisit the story without repeating every difficult section exactly as intended.
They become less charming when they damage a completion save. Keep your ordinary progress separate, confirm that the activation message appears and reload if a world-changing cheat refuses to switch off.
