GTA: Vice City – Definitive Edition cheats for Nintendo Switch

With the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, gamers can now enjoy, for the first time ever, three of Rockstar’s genre-defining classics on the Nintendo Switch: GTA III, GTA: San Andreas and GTA: Vice City. If you never got a chance to experience these games when they were released nearly two decades ago, they come from an era when video games had cheats.

Using these codes, you could unlock a plethora of in-game options that would bolster your game experience. Things like infinite ammo, full health and body armor, flying cars, and various weapon sets. In GTA: Vice City specifically, there were cheats that would allow you to play as different characters, including Hillary King, Ken Rosenberg or Lance Vance. You could also raise your wanted level if you wanted to go ham and have a huge shootout with authorities, or lower it if you were taking too much heat.

A lot of these cheats still work on GTA: Vice City – The Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch. Although Rockstar notes that not every cheat works due to potential technical complications below is the full list of cheats for GTA: Vice City along with their associated button input for Nintendo Switch.
