    About Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is Rockstar North's 2002 open-world crime game, set in a 1980s city modelled on Miami where Tommy Vercetti works his way up the city's crime scene. Its cheats are built in rather than unlocked: on PC you type a phrase during play, on PlayStation and Xbox you press a fixed button sequence, and an on-screen message tells you when a code has been accepted. Most codes carried over to the 2021 Definitive Edition, though a handful were dropped.

    How to enter cheats on Xbox. Press the buttons in order during normal play, not while paused or in a cutscene; Up, Down, Left and Right mean the D-pad. The main sequences are for The Definitive Edition on Xbox One and Series X|S, where they follow the PlayStation codes with LB for L1, LT for L2, RB for R1 and RT for R2 (GamesRadar, Game Informer). The original 2003 Xbox used another layout: its triggers (LT and RT) stand in for L1 and R1, and its two small White and Black buttons for L2 and R2; the GTA Wiki notes that White and Black correspond to the left and right bumpers. GamesRadar says the trigger roles were reversed in the Definitive Edition, so the two sets of sequences are not interchangeable. These codes cover: The Definitive Edition (2021) on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, plus the original Xbox release (2003), whose sequences are shown separately.

    Achievements, trophies and saves. Definitive Edition: Game Informer warns that some achievements become locked once you use cheats, and GamesRadar says the newer releases may hold back achievements as long as cheats are switched on; neither says when they become available again. Original Xbox release: not documented. Saves: GamesRadar, PC Gamer and Game Informer all advise saving before you use any cheat, and PC Gamer suggests a separate slot, because a few cheats leave lasting changes that only an older save can undo. The GTA Wiki adds that the game warns you against saving after certain cheats.

    Before you use them

    • Use the sequence for your version: the original Xbox sequences do not work as written in the Definitive Edition, because the trigger and bumper roles changed (GamesRadar).
    • GamesRadar and the GTA Wiki disagree on one button of the original Xbox sequence for Pink traffic and for Spawn Bloodring Banger (code 2), so no original Xbox sequence is given for those two.
    • The pedestrians-attack and riot cheats cannot be cancelled (GamesRadar), and saving while they are active makes them permanent on that save (GTA Wiki).
    • The invisible-cars cheat exists only on the original Xbox; the Definitive Edition dropped it (GamesRadar, PC Gamer).
