How to enter a cheat
Button sequences are entered during play without pausing, while name-style codes use the text input described per row. Match the platform column to PSP, PS2, or mobile before you try the input.
Effect groups
Weapons, player, wanted level, weather, gameplay, vehicles, pedestrians, traffic, and multiplayer groups each change a different system. Weather and time rows are useful for visibility, while ped and traffic rows reshape the city but can complicate missions if left active.
Platform and save notes
PSP and PS2 inputs are not always interchangeable. Check the row for which hardware it was verified on and keep a clean save before stacking multiple world codes.
FAQ
How do I enter a cheat for this game?
Use the input style listed in the row. Typed PC codes are entered during play, phone cheats are dialed from the keypad, and button cheats use the hardware sequence shown.
Do cheats work on every platform?
No. PC, PlayStation, Xbox, PSP, DS, and mobile releases can use different names or button sequences, so match the platform field before you try a code.
Can cheats affect saves or trophies?
Some cheats can linger in a save and may affect stats or block certain achievements or trophies. Keep a clean save from before cheat use for serious play.
Why did a spawn code not appear?
Spawn codes need open ground, clear road, or open water for the vehicle to appear. Try a wider street or shoreline and confirm you typed the code for the correct platform.
Should I test cheats during missions?
Test in free roam with a separate save. Mission scripts can react poorly to stacked world or police effects.
