GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition PS5 Cheats: The Complete Cheat Codes List

Looking for GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition cheats for PS5? This guide contains the complete list of PlayStation 5 cheat codes, including weapons, money, health, vehicles, wanted levels, weather, pedestrians, gangs, and more.

The cheats below are specifically for GTA: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition on PS5. Unlike the PC version, PS5 cheats are entered using combinations of buttons on the DualSense controller.

Important: Enter cheats during normal gameplay rather than pausing the game. Before using cheats, make a separate save. Using cheats can permanently disable Trophies on your current save, so keep a clean save if you're working toward 100% completion.

How to Enter Cheats on GTA San Andreas PS5

To activate a cheat, simply enter the button combination while playing the game.

You don't need to pause the game.

For example, to get $250,000, full health and full armor, enter:

R1, R2, L1, X, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP

A confirmation should appear when the cheat has been activated.

Cheats Removed From GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition

Not every original San Andreas cheat made it into the Definitive Edition.

The following cheats were removed:

• Infinite Health

• Never Hungry

• Adrenaline Mode

• Invisible Cars

• Free Aim While Driving

• Cars Float Away When Hit / Low Gravity

• Always Midnight

These were removed due to technical and engine compatibility issues with the Definitive Edition.

So if you find an old website listing one of these as a working PS5 cheat, don't assume it still works.

Do PS5 Cheats Disable Trophies?

Yes.

If you're playing GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition on PS5, using cheats can permanently disable Trophy progress on the current save.

That's why the safest approach is to keep two saves:

Clean Save:
Use this for missions, collectibles, 100% completion and Trophies.

Cheat Save:
Use this for tanks, weapons, Jetpacks, flying cars and general mayhem.

Rockstar's current support information confirms that the Definitive Edition continues to receive updates on PS5, while the PS5 version is officially supported as part of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

Final Thoughts

The GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition on PS5 has a huge selection of cheats, ranging from useful abilities such as the Jetpack and full armor to ridiculous cheats such as flying cars, pedestrian riots and Big Head Mode.

If you're going to use cheats, the most important thing to remember is to save your game first and keep a separate clean save for Trophy hunting.

For pure chaos, try this combination:

Jetpack + Weapons + Infinite Lung Capacity + Six-Star Wanted Level + Pedestrian Riot.

San Andreas gets pretty wild after that.

Happy cheating!

PC

Below you'll find a comprehensive list of the major working cheats, organized by category so you can quickly find the code you're looking for.

Important: Save your game before using cheats. Cheats can disable achievements/trophies on the current save, and some cheats can cause gameplay or mission problems. It's safest to keep a separate save file for cheat experimentation.

How to Enter GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition Cheats

PC

On PC, simply type the cheat code while you're playing. You don't need to pause the game.

For example, type:

ROCKETMAN

and CJ will receive a Jetpack.

The game should display a confirmation when the cheat is successfully activated. PC also accepts many of the older, shorter cheat codes in addition to the newer phrases.

PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch

On consoles, enter the button combination during normal gameplay.

Don't pause the game while entering the combination. Enter the buttons at a steady pace, and make sure you're using the correct controller layout for your platform.

GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition Player Cheats

The Definitive Edition also introduced Big Head Mode. On PC, use:

EXPANDDOME

This is one of the fun additions to the Definitive Edition cheat selection.

GTA San Andreas Weapon Cheats

If you want to immediately arm CJ, there are three weapon packages available.

Weapon Set 1

PC: THUGSARMOURY

Gives CJ the first weapon set.

Weapon Set 2

PC: PROFESSIONALSKIT

Provides a more powerful selection of weapons.

Weapon Set 3

PC: NUTTERSTOYS

Gives CJ the most powerful weapon set, including heavy weapons.

Infinite Ammo

PC: FULLCLIP

This gives CJ unlimited ammunition and removes the need to constantly reload.

GTA San Andreas Wanted Level Cheats

Want the police to stop chasing you? Or perhaps you want to see how long you can survive with a six-star wanted level?

Here are the cheats.

The AEZAKMI cheat is particularly useful when you want to cause trouble without constantly having the police chase you.

GTA San Andreas Jetpack Cheat

One of the most famous San Andreas cheats is the Jetpack.

Jetpack

PC: ROCKETMAN

Alternative code:

YECGAA

Once activated, CJ receives a Jetpack immediately.

It's especially useful for exploring areas that would normally be difficult to reach.

GTA San Andreas Vehicle Spawn Cheats

Want to spawn a tank, fighter jet, helicopter or monster truck?

These cheats let you create vehicles almost instantly.

The Rhino Tank cheat is:

TIMETOKICKASS

Alternative:

AIWPRTON

The Hydra cheat is:

JUMPJET

And the Hunter helicopter is:

OHDUDE

These vehicle-spawn codes are among the most popular cheats in the game.

GTA San Andreas Car Cheats

You don't need to spawn a specific vehicle to have fun. San Andreas also has cheats that change how vehicles behave.

The Definitive Edition added cheats including Drive on Water and Taxi Nitro.

Flying Cars Cheat

Want every car in San Andreas to take flight?

Use:

CHITTYCHITTYBANGBANG

Alternative:

RIPAZHA

Once activated, cars can fly when you gain enough speed and get airborne.

It's one of the best cheats for simply messing around in the open world.

Drive on Water Cheat

The Definitive Edition also has a dedicated cheat for driving across water.

PC: DRIVEONWATER

This allows vehicles to travel across the surface of the water rather than sinking.

GTA San Andreas Pedestrian Cheats

San Andreas becomes considerably more chaotic when you start modifying pedestrian behavior.

Be careful with the riot and chaos cheats. Some world-state cheats aren't easily reversible, so you may need to reload a previous save or restart the game.

GTA San Andreas Gang Cheats

Want to take control of San Andreas with Grove Street?

There are several cheats specifically designed around gangs.

The recruitment cheats are especially entertaining if you're trying to build a massive gang following.

GTA San Andreas Weather Cheats

You can change the weather whenever you want.

Want a massive sandstorm in the middle of San Andreas?

Use:

SANDINMYEARS

GTA San Andreas Time Cheats

You can also manipulate the game's clock and speed.

The slow-motion and fast-motion cheats are particularly fun when combined with vehicle cheats.

GTA San Andreas Most Useful Cheat Codes

If you don't want to memorize the entire list, these are the cheats I'd recommend keeping handy:

Cheats Removed From GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition

Not every cheat from the original PC version survived the transition to the Definitive Edition.

Two notable examples are:

Invisible Cars — WHEELSONLYPLEASE

Free Aim While Driving — IWANNADRIVEBY

These are listed as unavailable in the Definitive Edition because of technical/engine compatibility issues.

There are also differences between platforms, so a code that worked in the original game shouldn't automatically be assumed to work in the Definitive Edition.

Do GTA San Andreas Cheats Disable Achievements?

Yes. This is one of the most important things to know before using cheats.

The Definitive Edition supports achievements/trophies, but activating cheats can disable achievement progress for the current save. Because of this, it's strongly recommended that you create a separate save before experimenting with cheats.

If you're trying to complete the game and earn every achievement, play through your achievement-focused save without cheats.

Then create a separate save for unlimited ammo, tanks, Jetpacks and complete chaos.

Final Thoughts

The GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition still has one of the most entertaining cheat systems in the GTA series.

Whether you want to fly around with a Jetpack, spawn a Rhino Tank, give CJ unlimited ammunition, make cars fly, turn San Andreas into a riot, or simply change the weather, there's a cheat for almost every situation.

For the most fun, try combining several cheats. Spawn a Jetpack, activate infinite ammo, give yourself a six-star wanted level, and see how long you can survive.

Just remember to save your game before entering cheats, especially if you're working toward achievements or trophies.
