Powerups in Grand Theft Auto 2 encompass a variety of pickups that primarily alter the player's behavior, grant them temporary or permanent benefits that can aid the player during missions, dire situations, or simply for fun.

The number of powerups in GTA 2 are significantly expanded from that of GTA 1, increasing from GTA 1's six to fifteen in GTA 2.
