If you've jumped back in to the GTA Definitive Edition and are looking to spice up your save, you can try out the old school cheat codes that still work in the game! For anyone who's never tried these codes before, they offer ways to make the world a little more interesting, fun or even sometimes a little easier to navigate.
San Andreas is by far the game with the most cheat codes as it was released at a time when these kinds of codes were common in every game. Beware that using these codes will lock you out from earning and trophies or acheivements in the game and a new save file will need to be created to enable them again.
If you're bothered about this then start a new game before entering any cheat codes to ensure you aren't locked out from them in your main save file. The following codes are for PlayStation 4/5 but you can use the same input pattern on Xbox.
