GTA Vice City remains one of the most beloved entries in the Grand Theft Auto series, thanks to its neon-soaked 1980s atmosphere, memorable soundtrack, and open-world freedom.

Below is a complete, organised list of the classic GTA Vice City cheats for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, so you can find exactly what you need without digging through dozens of old forum posts.

Tips for Using Cheats Responsibly
While cheats are a fantastic way to unwind, keep in mind that activating them can affect your game statistics and, in some versions, may interfere with mission progress or achievement unlocks. It is wise to save your game beforehand so you can return to a cheat-free save file whenever you want a purist playthrough. Cheat codes cannot be typed while paused on PC, so enter them mid-gameplay for the best results. With this complete list at your fingertips, you can experience Vice City exactly the way you want: faster, louder, and far more explosive.
