Use these 146 documented Xbox button combinations for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One: 76 for GTA San Andreas, 50 for GTA Vice City and 20 for GTA III. Another 29 compatibility entries preserve removed, disputed, mislabelled and version-specific listings without adding them to the main total.
Version note: This guide is only for the 2021 Definitive Edition collection. Do not use these tables for the original Xbox release or the 2014 Xbox 360 port of San Andreas, whose shoulder-button mappings and cheat compatibility differ.
Verification status (September 3, 2026): The controller matrix was converted button by button and cross-checked against current Xbox references. It does not claim hands-on reproduction on every Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One build; removed and disputed effects are identified separately below.
Choose your Definitive Edition platform: Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One (this guide) | PC | PS5 and PS4 | Nintendo Switch.
Enter each combination during normal, unpaused gameplay. Press the buttons in order and reasonably quickly. Use the D-pad for Up, Down, Left and Right rather than either analog stick. A confirmation message usually appears when a sequence is accepted.
Save and achievement warning: Make a separate manual save before using any cheat. Cheats can disable achievement progress on the affected save or play session, and pedestrian, riot, gang or traffic effects can interfere with missions or persist unpredictably. Rockstar also warns that cheats can cause scripting errors or corrupt saved games, so reload a clean save after experimenting and never overwrite your only clean file. See Rockstar Support’s advice on saving after cheats.

Shoot the Moon is not a controller cheat. Equip either of Vice City’s sniper rifles at night and fire at the moon. Each hit cycles through one of eight apparent moon sizes before the sequence repeats. This Easter egg is preserved here because it appeared in the original guide, but it is deliberately separated from the controller-code tables.
The main GTA III tables contain 20 broadly corroborated Xbox combinations. The Definitive Edition adds Big Head Mode. Flying Cars, Speed Up Clock and Increased Gore are preserved separately because current references disagree about their compatibility, while Invisible Cars is widely listed as unavailable.

Not every legacy combination has the same status. This table separates unavailable effects from disputed reports, duplicate or mislabelled sequences and effects with no Xbox controller code. These entries are preserved for reference and are not included in the corroborated totals.
| Game | Cheat, claim or sequence | Status | Editorial treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Andreas | Near-infinite health | Unavailable in the Definitive Edition | Keep only as a legacy reference. Even in classic releases, this was not complete invincibility. |
| San Andreas | Never hungry | Unavailable in the Definitive Edition | Do not include it among the current Xbox codes. |
| San Andreas | Adrenaline Mode | Unavailable in the Definitive Edition | Do not include it among the current Xbox codes. |
| San Andreas | Invisible cars | Unavailable in the Definitive Edition | Keep the search answer, but not a working combination. |
| San Andreas | Free aim in cars | Unavailable in the Definitive Edition | Keep the search answer, but not a working combination. |

| San Andreas | Gang members everywhere and recruit with rocket launchers | Current-build test required | Preserve as legacy search terms until a current-build test establishes support. |
| San Andreas | Ladies follow CJ: B, A, LB, LB, RT, A, A, B, B | Current-build test required | Historically documented, but not reproduced consistently across Xbox Definitive Edition references. |
| San Andreas | Maximum Stamina claim: Up, A, Y, A, Y, A, X, RB, Right | Uncorroborated legacy listing | Some old lists assign this RB-ending sequence to Maximum Stamina, but it is not validated for current Xbox builds. Do not confuse it with the similar RT-ending Taxi Nitro and Jump code. |
| San Andreas | Faster cars | Conflicting or duplicated assignment | The commonly published sequence is already used for Always Green Traffic Lights; do not count it twice. |
| San Andreas | Money-only cheat | No Xbox controller code | Use the combined health, armor and $250,000 combination instead. |
| Vice City | Legacy "Police Return from the Dead" / disputed Media Attention sequence: B, LB, Down, LT, Left, A, RB, LB, Right, A | Conflicting or mislabelled assignment | The police-resurrection description is false. Some legacy material associates this sequence with the Media Attention or Chase Stat HUD, but current Xbox references do not establish its effect consistently. Retain it for testing without promising a result. |
| Vice City | Show Media Level / disputed Flying Boats sequence: RT, B, Up, LB, Right, RB, Right, Up, X, Y | Conflicting or duplicated assignment | GamesRadar assigns this controller sequence to Show Media Level and lists Flying Boats as PC-only; GTA Base publishes the identical sequence for both effects, while other guides call it Flying Boats. The reconstructed game code implements the two effects separately, so test the current Xbox build and count this sequence only once. |
| Vice City | Flying Cars: Right, RT, B, RB, LT, Down, LB, RB or Y, B, Y, Up, Left, Down, Down, Down, Down | Current-build test required | Current Xbox references disagree between the classic sequence and a Definitive Edition-specific alternative. Do not publish either as definitive until it is reproduced on the current build. |
| Vice City | Bikini Girls with Guns: Right, LB, B, LT, Left, A, RB, LB, LB, A | Current-build test required | The historical effect replaces Vercetti Gang members with armed women in beachwear; it does not arm every woman. Current sources disagree about Definitive Edition support. |
| Vice City | Invisible cars | Reported unavailable in the Definitive Edition | Keep the search answer, but do not promise a working combination without a current-build test. |
| Vice City | Money or infinite ammo | No Xbox controller code | Neither effect has a built-in Xbox controller cheat. |
| Vice City | Invincibility, Hunter, Skimmer, body-shape and pedestrians-enter-car codes | No Xbox controller code | These appear in some PC keyboard lists, but no validated Xbox combination is available. |
| GTA III | Invisible Cars: LB, LB, X, RT, Y, LB, Y | Unavailable in the Definitive Edition | The classic code hides vehicle bodies while leaving the wheels visible, but the effect is not supported here. Variants beginning with LT, LT are incorrect. |
| GTA III | Flying Cars: Right, RT, B, RB, LT, Down, LB, RB | Current-build test required | This converted classic sequence is widely documented, but current sources disagree about whether it works in The Definitive Edition. The letter O shown in some old Xbox lists is impossible and should be B. |
| GTA III | Increased Gore / Limb Detachment: X, LB, B, Down, LB, RB, Y, Right, LB, A | Conflicting references; current-build and region test required | The code displays no confirmation and may appear inactive when gore is already enabled. Other sources list it as removed, so test the current build and regional settings before classifying it. |
| GTA III | Remove pedestrian weapons | No Xbox controller code | Do not convert a PC text string into controller buttons. |
| GTA III | Speed Up Clock: B, B, B, X, X, X, X, X, LB, Y, B, Y | Current-build test required | Current references disagree: some retain the sequence, while others mark it as removed. Never call this Faster Gameplay. |
| GTA III | All Traffic Lights Stay Green: Right, Right Trigger, Up, White, White, Left, Right Trigger, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Right Trigger | Original Xbox only | This belongs to the original Xbox port and must not be converted into a Definitive Edition code. |
Reference policy: Combinations were converted from the corrected controller matrix and cross-checked against current Xbox-focused tables for San Andreas, Vice City and GTA III. Rockstar confirmed that some legacy cheats were removed for technical reasons without publishing a complete platform-by-platform inventory, as reported by Game Informer. Disputed cases remain visible here so a future hands-on build test can promote or retire them without losing the search answer.
Enter the listed buttons during normal gameplay without pausing. Use the D-pad for directions, press the sequence in order and wait briefly for the on-screen confirmation, which usually appears when the game accepts a code.
Yes. The controller combinations on this page apply to the 2021 Definitive Edition on both Xbox generations. They are not a safe substitute for the original Xbox or 2014 Xbox 360 releases.
Cheats can disable achievement progress for the affected play session or save state. Keep a separate manual save made before entering any code, reload it after experimenting and never overwrite your only clean file.
No. Big Head Mode is a straightforward toggle, but weapon, money, health and spawn codes are one-time actions. Speed effects may stack, and pedestrian or world-state cheats may not reverse safely. Reloading a clean save is the reliable solution.
It is safest not to save over normal progress. Riot, pedestrian, gang and traffic cheats can interfere with missions or persist in ways that are difficult to undo, and Rockstar warns that cheat use can cause scripting errors or corrupt saved games.
Check that you are playing the 2021 Definitive Edition, enter the combination while unpaused, use the D-pad and press each button quickly. Make room for a spawned vehicle. If the effect appears only in the compatibility table, it is removed, disputed or still requires a current-build test.
San Andreas gives $250,000 together with health and armor, while GTA III has a separate $250,000 code. Vice City has no money cheat.
Do not assume so. Older ports use different shoulder-button mappings and do not share the same removed or added cheats. Use the version-specific classic Xbox or Xbox 360 guides linked below.
