GTA 3 Cheat Codes — All Cheats for PC, PlayStation, Xbox & Mobile (2026)
By Indie Developer Luck | Updated
What are all the GTA 3 cheat codes?
Grand Theft Auto III introduced the franchise to a fully 3D open world, and with it came a roster of cheat codes that let players bend Liberty City to their will. GTA 3 contains 22 cheat codes in total, making it the most compact collection in the series. These cheats cover everything from spawning a Rhino Tank and granting all weapons to altering weather patterns, changing pedestrian behavior, and toggling slow motion or fast-forward gameplay. Whether you are replaying the 2001 classic or experiencing the remastered Definitive Edition on modern hardware, every cheat listed on this page still works. Below you will find the complete list organized by category, with the PC keyboard codes provided for each entry. For controller button sequences on PlayStation and Xbox, as well as video walkthroughs and audio narration, download the Cheats Pro app free on iOS and Android.
How do you enter cheats in GTA 3?
Entering cheat codes in GTA 3 is straightforward and differs slightly by platform. On PC, you simply type the cheat code on your keyboard during gameplay. There is no pause menu, console command, or text box required. Just start typing the letters while you are playing and the game will register the input automatically. When the cheat activates successfully, you will see a brief confirmation message at the top of the screen. On PlayStation and Xbox consoles, cheats are entered using controller button sequences while the game is running. Each platform has its own specific combination of buttons. In the GTA III: Definitive Edition, the same cheats work on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch using their respective controller layouts. The Cheats Pro app displays the exact button sequence for whichever platform you select, so you never have to guess or memorize the combinations.

Do cheats work in GTA 3 Definitive Edition?
Yes, all 22 GTA 3 cheat codes work in the GTA III: The Definitive Edition released by Rockstar Games as part of the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy remaster. The Definitive Edition is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. On console, cheats are entered using controller button combinations rather than keyboard input, but the effects are identical to the original game. Two cheats that were exclusive to certain versions of the original game, Increased Gore and Turn Vehicle Invisible, are also available in the Definitive Edition. Keep in mind that activating any cheat code in the Definitive Edition will disable trophies and achievements for that session. If you plan to earn platinum or 100% completion, save your game before experimenting with cheats. The Cheats Pro app shows you the exact button sequences for every platform in the Definitive Edition.
What is the GTA 3 tank cheat?
The GTA 3 tank cheat is one of the most iconic codes in the entire franchise. On PC, type GIVEUSATANK during gameplay and a Rhino Tank will spawn directly in front of your character. The Rhino is a fully functional military tank with a rotating turret that fires explosive rounds, making it the most powerful vehicle in GTA 3. It can withstand enormous amounts of damage before being destroyed. When combined with the Flying Vehicle cheat (CHITTYCHITTYBB), you can turn the Rhino into a flying tank by firing the turret backwards to gain altitude, which remains one of the most entertaining exploits in GTA history. The tank cheat can be activated repeatedly to spawn multiple Rhinos if needed. In the Definitive Edition, the tank cheat uses a controller button combination instead of keyboard input. For the exact sequence on your platform, check the Cheats Pro app which provides step-by-step controller instructions with visual button icons.
