The early GTA games are renowned for their inclusion of cheat codes, and the remastered version of GTA 3 is no exception.
While playing through the remastered version of GTA 3 is a treat itself, there’s plenty of extra fun to be found in using the game’s built in cheat codes. While most of the cheat codes remain the same, some have been removed. According to an interview with USAToday, Rockstar says that some codes simply wouldn’t work in the new Unreal engine. The studio didn’t specify which codes no longer work, however. We’ll have to figure that out for ourselves.
If you’re thinking about using cheats in GTA 3, be warned – enabling any of these cheats will prevent certain trophies and achievements from popping. Here’s a list of all the cheat codes we know so far and how to activate them across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
