GTA IV Cheat Codes for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3

Grand Theft Auto IV cheats are entered as phone numbers on Niko Bellic's in-game mobile phone. The same number-based system is used on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. After a valid number is called once, it appears in the phone's Cheats menu for quick reuse.

Make a separate save before activating cheats. Some codes can block particular achievements or trophies during the session, and a spawned vehicle or changed wanted level can interfere with a mission. Reload the clean save when returning to normal progress.

How to enter a GTA IV cheat

1. Load Niko's main GTA IV story.
2. Open the in-game phone and bring up its keypad.
3. Dial the code exactly as shown.
4. Place the call to activate the effect.
5. For later use, open the phone's Cheats menu.

Player, weapons, police, and weather cheats

Vehicle spawn cheats

Stand outdoors with clear space before using a vehicle code. A boat requires access to water, and a helicopter or large vehicle may fail to appear in a narrow street or interior.

Useful rewards earned without cheats

Niko can unlock services by maintaining friendships and relationships. The required values are shown by the game's relationship system, and availability can depend on story progress.

• Roman: A taxi service can provide transport.
• Little Jacob: Access to discounted weapons.
• Packie: A car-bomb service.
• Brucie: Helicopter transport.
• Dwayne: Backup from associates.
• Kiki: Help reducing a wanted level.
• Carmen: A health-related benefit.

Answer calls, accept suitable activities, and avoid repeatedly declining a friend if you are trying to unlock a perk.

In-game map for secrets and collectibles

Use a computer inside the game and enter www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com. This is an in-universe website, not a real download link. It displays locations for several activities and collectibles.

Liberty City secrets

Statue of Happiness shirt

Reach the upper pedestrian area around the Statue of Happiness and enter the unmarked doorway when accessible. Inside, the game awards a novelty shirt. Use a helicopter or another safe route to reach the island and elevated area.

The Heart of Liberty City

Inside the statue's structure is a large beating heart suspended by chains. It is an Easter egg rather than a mission reward. Explore carefully because reaching the interior can involve awkward jumps and falls.

“Shave and a Haircut” horn response

Some traffic can answer the familiar rhythm if the player sounds the car horn in the “Shave and a Haircut” pattern. It is a small ambient detail, not a progression requirement.

Base game versus Episodes from Liberty City

This list is for Niko's original GTA IV story. The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony add episode-specific vehicles and abilities with additional codes. Those codes should not be expected to work in the base campaign.
