Cheats and Trophies
On the Definitive Edition, a cheat locks trophies on the save file where you entered it, not on your whole console. Save before you start, or cheat on a separate file, and the clean save keeps earning trophies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do GTA 3 cheats disable trophies on PS4 and PS5?
On the Definitive Edition, yes, but only on the save file where you used them. Go back to a save made before the cheat and trophies unlock again.
Do the PS2 cheat codes work on PS5?
Yes. The Definitive Edition on PS4 and PS5 uses the same sequences as the 2001 PS2 game. The invisible cars cheat is the one that was removed.
Is GTA 3 on PlayStation Plus?
The Definitive Edition joined PS Plus Extra on 10 June 2025 and left it on 16 December 2025.
How do you know a GTA 3 cheat worked on PlayStation?
On the Definitive Edition a notification appears in the top-left corner. If nothing shows, check that the game is not paused or in a cutscene and enter the sequence again.
