The Ceiling Height Limit is a limit designed by Rockstar to limit the height that be reached by the player. The limit is not the same in every Grand Theft Auto game. In Grand Theft Auto III, there is no limit. The main reason of putting a height limit is to prevent the player from reaching altitudes higher than what the developers intended. Editing this limit is difficult as it is hardcoded into the EXE.

Trivia

  • In all games with a height limit, it is possible to exceed the height limit by a few meters by flying upwards quickly. Note that this process only lasts a few seconds before you start dropping.
  • In GTA: Vice City, GTA: Vice City Stories and GTA: Liberty City Stories the height is really low due to incomplete buildings, missing roofs and collision.

Tips

  • In GTA San Andreas, ceiling hight limit can be passed by activating the "Cars Float Away When Hit" cheat. Then, they can try htting the car they want to float off with another vehicle, quickly exit the vehicle and enter the floating vehicle, and the player can fly off into the sky as high as they can.
