Cheats in GTA San Andreas
 |
Be warned that using cheats may cause unintended side effects, disable achievements, and/or hinder game progress. Use cheats at your own risk. |
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' cheat codes are similar to those of its predecessors, requiring input of a series of controller button commands or a keyboard. When a cheat code is successfully entered, a "Cheat Activated" message will appear on the upper left corner of the screen to confirm the cheat has been entered. The following cheat codes must be entered during gameplay, and no longer work when in the pause screen.
Note that the PlayStation 2 and Xbox require the use of the D-Pad for directional input (up, down, left, right), (NOTE: this is not the analog stick). For the Xbox 360, Black is RB and White is LB.
