Every GTA San Andreas cheat in one place: HESOYAM, jetpack, tank, weapons, wanted level, weather. PC codes and phrases, PlayStation and Xbox button combos, how to enter them on mobile, and which cheats were cut from the Definitive Edition.
How to enter GTA San Andreas cheats
- PC. Just type the code on your keyboard during gameplay. No console, no Enter. Both the short code and the phrase work.
- PlayStation, Xbox, Switch. Enter the combo quickly during gameplay, without pausing. Arrows mean the D-pad. Entering a combo again turns most cheats off.
- Mobile (Definitive Edition). Tap the map → Options → Accessibility tab → the “Enter Cheat Code” button, then type the PC code. With a controller connected, the console combos work.
Xbox. The combos in the tables are for the Definitive Edition on Xbox One and Series X|S. On Xbox 360 and the original Xbox the bumpers and triggers are swapped: press LT instead of LB, RT instead of RB, and the other way round.
Careful with your saves. Some cheats can’t be turned off (pedestrian riot, pedestrians attacking you). Don’t save over your main slot while they are active.

New cheats in the Definitive Edition
| Effect | PC | PlayStation | Xbox (DE) | In DE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big heads (DE only, “Konami code”) | EXPANDDOME | ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → ○ ✕ | ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A | yes, new |
| Taxi nitro (L3 to jump) | TAXINITRO | — | — | yes, new |
In the Definitive Edition the console combo for flying cars differs from the original (the table shows the DE version; in the original on PlayStation it is □ ↓ L2 ↑ L1 ○ ↑ ✕ ←). The “cars drive on water”, “big heads” and “taxi nitro” codes exist only in the Definitive Edition.
Which cheats were removed from the Definitive Edition
Rockstar never published an official list, and guides disagree. According to GTABase, seven cheats don’t work in the Definitive Edition: invincibility, “CJ never gets hungry”, adrenaline mode, invisible cars, free aim while driving, cars that fly away when hit, and “always midnight”. PC Gamer counts only two as removed: invisible cars and free aim while driving. In the tables the first group is marked “disputed*”, the second “no”. In the original version all of them work.
