This GTA: San Andreas guide details everything you need to know about cheat codes, as well as how to activate them, a guide to the best cheats to test out, as well as a complete list of all working cheats and codes that are available and ready to use. This guide includes an updated cheats list for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5 as well as on mobile and Netflix platforms.
Please note, with nearly 100 cheats and secrets available in GTA San Andreas, these cheats can all be used and activated across every platform, including PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
In order to enter and activate cheat codes in GTA San Andreas, you must first select the cheat code you are looking to enter. With almost 100 cheats available on offer, you'll find cheats that range from infinite ammo, disabling your wanted level, infinite health, item and vehicle spawns, as well as plenty more.
Once you have selected your desired cheat code, simply type the phrase on your PC keyboard (or mobile device keyboard) or press the button combinations on your console controller while playing the game. You don't need to pause, you can do this during gameplay. The button commands will need to be entered perfectly and rather quickly, if you're too slow, you'll need to re-enter the cheat code.
To enter cheats on mobile devices like phones and tablets (and the Netflix GTA Trilogy): You must have a bluetooth or otherwise connected keyboard for your device or the ability to pull up a virtual keyboard in-game to enter cheat code for San Andreas on mobile devices and phones.
You can also pair a game controller (like a DualSense or Xbox controller) and use the corresponding button cheats above.
Below is a complete list of all Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (GTA SA) cheat codes that are available across all platforms, whether it be PS5, PS4, PS3, Xbox Series XS, XB1, Xbox 360, PC, or Nintendo Switch.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has several cheats that kit out CJ's arsenal, boost his health and add some extra cash to his account. Here's a complete list of the weapon, health, and money cheat codes:
Some of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' most entertaining cheats allow you to alter the game's physics and internal logic to turn Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas into chaos-filled playgrounds. Here's all the gameplay cheat codes:
Looking to buff out CJ's stats without having to grind at the gym? Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has cheats for that too, as well as some handy (and mayhem-infused) gang-related codes. Here's a complete list of every stat and gang cheat:
Although there's a lot of cheats for CJ's on-foot adventures, there's also plenty of codes you can utilise when he gets behind the wheel. Here are all the traffic, vehicle, boat, plane and motorcycle cheat codes:
Anytime you kill a drug dealer, you will net $2000. Drug dealers normally wear black jackets and stand still waiting for people to talk to them. Kill as many as you can find to build up your cash stash quickly.
To earn some easy weapon skill, go and practice with an AK-47 before starting this mission until you reach Gangster level. Then while in the mission, blast on as many cop cars and bikes as possible. You'll deal out so much damage that there is a very high chance of you reaching Hitman weapon skill level.
To earn easy weapon skill, go and get any two cars and place them in your Grove St home garage. Then with the weapon of your choice shoot the cars until they are nearly on fire. Then walk away from the garage so it can close. Walk up to the garage again and you will notice that the cars are repaired. Repeat this process as it is one of the fastest ways to earn weapon skill in the game. To check your progress with weapon skill, switch to the weapon that you want to check and then go to STATS in the menu and then go down to WEAPONS. The number there is how many skill points you have. You need 1000 skill points to reach hitman level.
As with most of Rockstar's sprawling open-world sandboxes, one of the best ways to have fun in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is to dip into its array of wacky cheat codes. Luckily, there's a whole bunch of them on offer, letting you spawn tanks, lead around groups of rocket-launcher-wielding pedestrians and even drive invisible cars.
On this page, you'll find a complete list of all the cheat codes available to San Andreas players on PC as well as a tutorial on how to input them. So, without further ado, here are all of GTA San Andreas' PC cheat codes. Please note, this guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox, PC, and PS5.
Unlike more modern Grand Theft Auto games that rely on the phone as a hub for cheats, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas requires the player to input codes while playing the game. There's no cheat screen and you can't input the codes via the pause menu.
Once you know the code you want to input, type the correct sequence of buttons in quick succession while in-game. If the cheat was successful, you'll get a small pop-up in the left-hand corner of the screen as well as a brief audio cue. With that done, you'll be ready to enjoy whichever cheat you've entered.
I am handicapped at various levels and have been depending on these codes for a while, but that leaves me feeling a bit void when I do play the game, which is why I'm asking: How can I complete GTA: San Andreas, without using any of the cheat codes?
Weapons spawn in various places across San Andreas, including in Grove St. It should not be hard to make the rounds and collect the weapons and other items before you leave your current base on your next outing. Around Grove St alone, there is:
There is also an Armour, Shotgun, Dildo and Pistol that spawn in the cop station. Just make sure you leave 'gift' slot (flowers/dildo/cane etc) equipped. You don't want to equip the weapons you pickup whilst walking around the cop station.
Use guides or maps for these. They will unlock weapons at your 'home base' in each city - spraying over all gang tags for example will give you a Tech 9, AK-47, Sawn-Off Shotgun and set of Molotovs in the kitchen of the Johnson house, collectible every couple of in-game hours (like other drops).
Side Note: Oysters
All Oysters will make you able to infinitely breathe underwater. Most can't be collected straight away as they're scattered over the map, but as you collect them you will be spending time swimming underwater, helping to prep you for the swimming-based story missions later.
You don't really even need to really go on dates with them that often unless you're a completionist like me. Simply having them as 'girlfriends' give you special perks, like keeping your weapons after being wasted or arrested, or have weapons & cars spawn at their houses. Make sure you meet the requirements for dating them before talking to them or have very high sex appeal though, it's easier to find them the first time, subsequent visits will need to be at particular times of day.
Also don't forget, there's a little sliver of Vagos gang in the very top-left of the map (above San Fierro). You'll have a harder time finding the enemy gang to START the war, and when they defend it'll be with Baseball bats and pistols.
Check the Main Menu Map often! The vehicles move around, so you want to angle your flight path to match as much as possible. As originalUser mentions in his comment below, Depending on which version of the game you're playing, the amount of fuel you have varies. The Xbox & PC versions have increased fuel in the RC plane, but the PS2 version, has barely enough.
Robotnik's answer is spot on, but something it doesn't mention is that the game has a reverse difficulty curve - it's significantly harder at the beginning than it is by the end. This is mainly because weapons take a very long time to kill people at first due to low skill and the weapons being low tier, whereas later on you'll be able to kill most enemies within a second of targeting them. Don't get discouraged by failing at the beginning, just make sure you save before each mission and try again, it will get easier later on.
Any game in the world can be completed without cheat codes, some harder than others but all doable, including GTA. If people were able to finish Super Meatboy, Mario and Dark Souls without cheats then I can assure you GTA is passable :) It just requires you to pay attention maybe roam around a bit instead of just going from 1 main mission to another trying to finish the game as fast as possible.
Just stick to the game a bit and enjoy it :) If you really don't like the game and it results in you getting extremely angry I would advise that you try another game or at least just leave the PC(or console) for some time then return to it :)
When I was younger, I played a lot of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I would also use a lot of cheat codes while playing the game. If a mission was too hard, I would cheat. But I would additionally use some of the silly cheat codes to cause mayhem and have fun.
