GTA San Andreas is most popular on PS4 & PS2, but we have the cheat codes for all PlayStation consoles anyway.


Gta Sa Cheats Ps

This guide will walk you through the process of activating cheats in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (including the GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition version) on all PlayStation platforms (PS5, PS4, PS3 and PS2). Gone are the days when you need to have your cheat codes scribbled on a piece of scrap paper. Here, we have the cheats all listed and verified including favorites like flying cars, spawn jetpack and all weapons.

  1. Create A Save

    Always save your game before you begin to use cheats in GTA San Andreas. Using cheat codes will make Trophies unavailable, so it’s important to have a clean save to return to and continue your progress.

  2. Choose Which Cheat To Activate

    Rockstar went all out with GTA: San Andreas and it has some of the most outlandish cheat codes available, plus they can be used together as well. Choose the cheats you are interested in from our list.

  3. Activate The Cheat

    Enter the relevant button combination using your controller. You shouldn’t pause the game when doing so, and CJ will react to the input, however the cheat code will register nonetheless.

  4. Successful Activation

    If you’ve entered the code correctly the game will present a notification informing you that the cheat has been activated.

I wasn't sure if the cheats would work on PS5 and they do indeed work. Thanks for the list. It is wild playing this game after so many years. When it came out, I was still a kid and have so many memories playing this with my older brother. I am going to be putting these to use later tonight.

Is there any way of seeing the cheat commands next to different controllers, so you can see which buttons are correct vs which are not? I am trying to explain to a friend that he is putting them in wrong by using the wrong buttons. He uses a few different controllers and I know he is messing them up.

It should be universal. As far as I know, even off brand PS controllers function the same. They aren't like Xbox ones that can be misplaced or have extra buttons/move buttons. I can't imagine what he is doing to mess it up, it is pretty straight forward. Which codes did he try?
