How Do You Enter Cheats in GTA Vice City Definitive Edition?

Before you input any of all cheats for GTA Vice City Definitive Edition in the GTA Trilogy, we'd encourage you to create a new save file first. This will preserve your progress in the game, as some of the cheat codes may break your game. Similarly, it's worth noting that Trophies will be disabled once you enter cheat codes.

Once you've created a new save file, you can enter cheat codes at any time by simply following the button prompts outlined in the tables above. You don't need to be in a specific location or on a pause menu to enter cheat codes, and you will be prompted once you've input a cheat correctly.

Do Cheats Disable Trophies in GTA Vice City Definitive Edition?

Cheat codes in GTA Vice City Definitive Edition will disable Trophies, meaning you should only input cheats on a new save file. Not only will this enable you to continue to progress towards the Platinum Trophy, but it will also preserve your progress, as some cheat codes cannot be disabled and may ultimately break your playthrough.
