71 cheat codes that still work in GTA: San Andreas - Definitive Edition
This hefty list of cheats will give you an advantage in Los Santos.
With the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition, three of Rockstar Games’ classic open-world adventures are now available on modern platforms. One of the best games in the package is GTA: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition, which serves as an enhanced version of the hit PS2 game. While it comes with a lengthy list of changes, many of the cheat codes from the original have been included in the new version, just like GTA III and Vice City. There are over 70 cheats that have been confirmed to work in the new edition, so let’s dive into this behemoth list so you can get to cheating. These are the confirmed GTA: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition cheat codes.
All confirmed GTA: San Andreas Definitive Edition cheats
Many of the optional cheats from the original GTA: San Andreas return in the Definitive Edition. There are some, such as some of the codes that change all pedestrians, as well as certain weather cheats, that do not work in the remaster due to technical limitations. Below are all the cheat codes that have been included across all platforms.
Remember, to input a cheat code, simply press the buttons/keys during the game (but not the pause menu). You don’t need to press the buttons in quick succession.

Do the GTA: San Andreas Definitive Edition cheats disable trophies or achievements?
Sadly, achievement and trophy hunters won’t be able to use cheats in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition. That’s right, cheat codes disable the ability to earn trophies and achievements, so if you plan on getting the platinum trophy or 1,000 gamerscore, you’ll want to use a separate save file to do things legitimately.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition is available now.
