Released in 2001 by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto III (GTA3) introduced the 3D, third-person, over-the-shoulder gameplay perspective to the Grand Theft Auto series. GTA3 also marked the return to Liberty City from GTA and introduced the main character — Claude — and his backstory, which has been integral to the overarching storyline.

GTA3 is still popular today, in part because it's a hard game to win. The nonlinear, open-ended storyline enables you to move about the game world of Liberty City, completing missions at your leisure. As you play, however, you may run into difficult missions that hold you up. How can you get past these tough spots? GTA3 cheat codes to the rescue!

GTA3 is available on multiple platforms, including macOS, Android, and Xbox. The cheats and cheat codes mentioned in this article are specific to GTA3 on Windows.

Enable GTA3 Cheats

This list details all the known GTA3 cheat codes for Windows and the resulting effect on gameplay. To enable a GTA3 cheat, enter its code during gameplay. Although in this article GTA3 cheat codes appear in uppercase letters, codes are not case sensitive.

Unlike cheat codes in Grand Theft Auto Vice City, the follow-up to GTA3, you can't disable cheats in GTA3 once you've activated them. To reset or disable cheats, restart the game or reload a saved game.

If after you try the GTA3 cheats you still have trouble getting through a certain mission, enemy, or area in Liberty City, check out the list of GTA3 video cheats and walkthroughs at the end of this article. Many of the walkthroughs found here and on other websites provide a step-by-step guide to get past those difficult parts of the game. They're also a great way to extend your gameplay and have more fun with GTA3.
