How to enter GTA San Andreas cheats
- PC. Just type the code on your keyboard during gameplay. No console, no Enter. Both the short code and the phrase work.
- PlayStation, Xbox, Switch. Enter the combo quickly during gameplay, without pausing. Arrows mean the D-pad. Entering a combo again turns most cheats off.
- Mobile (Definitive Edition). Tap the map → Options → Accessibility tab → the “Enter Cheat Code” button, then type the PC code. With a controller connected, the console combos work.
Xbox. The combos in the tables are for the Definitive Edition on Xbox One and Series X|S. On Xbox 360 and the original Xbox the bumpers and triggers are swapped: press LT instead of LB, RT instead of RB, and the other way round.
Careful with your saves. Some cheats can’t be turned off (pedestrian riot, pedestrians attacking you). Don’t save over your main slot while they are active; more in the “Side effects of San Andreas cheats” section below.

New cheats in the Definitive Edition
| Effect | PC | PlayStation | Xbox (DE) | In DE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big heads (DE only, “Konami code”) | EXPANDDOME | ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → ○ ✕ | ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A | yes, new |
| Taxi nitro (L3 to jump) | TAXINITRO | — | — | yes, new |
In the Definitive Edition the console combo for flying cars differs from the original (the table shows the DE version; in the original on PlayStation it is □ ↓ L2 ↑ L1 ○ ↑ ✕ ←). The “cars drive on water”, “big heads” and “taxi nitro” codes exist only in the Definitive Edition.
Which cheats were removed from the Definitive Edition
Rockstar never published an official list, and guides disagree. According to GTABase, seven cheats don’t work in the Definitive Edition: invincibility, “CJ never gets hungry”, adrenaline mode, invisible cars, free aim while driving, cars that fly away when hit, and “always midnight”. PC Gamer counts only two as removed: invisible cars and free aim while driving. In the tables the first group is marked “disputed*”, the second “no”. In the original version all of them work.
San Andreas cheats on mobile (iOS and Android)
There are two different games on mobile, and cheats are entered differently in each.
- Definitive Edition (App Store, Google Play). Tap the map → Options → Accessibility tab → the “Enter Cheat Code” button under Color Blind Mode, and type a PC code from the tables above, for example
HESOYAM. If you play with a controller, the console combos work (according to TouchArcade). - The original 2013 mobile port. There is no cheat field: you need a physical keyboard connected via Bluetooth or a USB adapter (OTG). Then you type the codes during gameplay, as on PC. Most PC codes work (GTA BOOM and GTA Wiki).
The original 2013 port has a few codes that do not exist on PC or consoles. GTA BOOM and GTA Wiki list them the same way:
| Effect | Code (2013 mobile version only) |
|---|---|
| Full invincibility (bullets, fire, falls, explosions, water) | GONPXWR |
| Weapon set 4 (minigun and more) | BIEUHQY |
| Pass the current mission | BYIXZIY |
| Skip time 4 hours ahead | YACKMWS |
| Debug control hints | KRRIHBT, MIZYXHZ, JQFUDUB |
The Netflix Games version of San Andreas is gone: Netflix removed it on December 12, 2025, and its saves do not carry over to the paid version. Where to buy it and how the mobile versions differ is on the GTA San Andreas on mobile page.
San Andreas cheats on Nintendo Switch
San Andreas came out on Switch on November 11, 2021, in The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. Cheats are entered the same way as on PlayStation: quickly press the combo during gameplay, without pausing. The buttons map to each other by position (that is what you get by comparing the Switch tables from GTA BOOM and AppTrigger with the PlayStation codes):
| PlayStation | Switch |
|---|---|
| ✕ | B |
| ○ | A |
| □ | Y |
| △ | X |
| L1 / R1 | L / R |
| L2 / R2 | ZL / ZR |
So HESOYAM on Switch is R ZR L B ← ↓ → ↑ ← ↓ → ↑, and “big heads” is ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → A B. Arrows mean the D-pad. Cheats missing from the Definitive Edition do not work on Switch either.
Side effects of San Andreas cheats
Cheats in San Andreas can break missions and even saves. GTA BOOM and GTA Wiki recommend using them only on a separate save slot or after finishing the story. Both sources describe these effects:
- Pedestrian riot and attacks cannot be turned off. If you save while they are active, the effect stays in that save forever. During a riot you cannot complete the Madd Dogg and Tanker Commander missions.
- Too many cheats and some missions become impossible: Burning Desire, Life’s a Beach, Photo Opportunity and Madd Dogg.
- Every cheat lowers your Criminal Rating by 10 points.
- “Wanted level never increases” (AEZAKMI) breaks the Mike Toreno mission: it does not progress past the red marker while the cheat is active.
- A jetpack on a mission’s red marker crashes the game (according to GTA Wiki, this bug was fixed in the PC version).
- “Blow up all cars” in the mission Reuniting the Families blows up Sweet’s car with you in it.
- Max fat and max stamina stop you from working out at the gym.
- Infinite ammo can break the game’s sound.
In the Definitive Edition cheats also disable achievements and trophies, so save to a separate slot before using them.
