GTA San Andreas Cheats PS4, PS2, PS3 and PS5

From GTA BOOM Wiki

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

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.

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.

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 fromour list.

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.

Successful Activation

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