This page shows all the available cheats in Grand Theft Auto III. They are activated by a button/key combination. Cheats can be inputted into the game at anytime during gameplay, including in the pause menu. A successful input of a cheat, either activated or deactivated, will display a "Cheat activated" message. Cars will only spawn on the closest car path node, not in front of the player. Some cheats can be disabled by reinputting the cheat code, some can be disabled by reloading the game, but only the pedestrian hate and riot cheats are permanent and cannot be reversed if the game is saved while the cheat is active. These pedestrian-related cheats may hinder progress during missions.
Cheat codes highlighted bold are available in The Definitive Edition.

Trivia[]
- Gore mode is activated by default in the PC version, except for censored versions or when the language is changed to something other than English.
- The "Destroy all cars" and "Acquire all weapons" cheats will be triggered again for every time "bang" and "guns", respectively, is typed again. So, if the player types "bang"/"guns" 15 times in a row, the cheats will be activated 13 times. This feature was, however, cut in The Definitive Edition, thus making this cheat more tedious to type in.
- Inputting any cheats will not decrease or increase the player's criminal rating, unlike other GTA games.
- "GESUNDHEIT" cheat code is a German word meaning "Health"
- In the Android version, typing "GIVEUSATANK" will give the player any car.
- When riot mode is activated, paramedics are sometimes affected by the cheat, which will prevent them from reviving pedestrians and they will start fighting like everyone.
- For some reason, they almost always attack Claude first when turning hostile.
- In The Definitive Edition, when using the health cheat in vehicle, all dents can be fixed.
