Grand Theft Auto IV – Best Cheats & Codes

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) brought a gritty, realistic tone to Liberty City through the eyes of Niko Bellic. Unlike previous entries, GTA IV introduced a “modern” way to activate cheats: using a mobile phone. Whether you need to replenish your health during a heated shootout or spawn an Annihilator helicopter to rain fire from above, the phone is your gateway to power.

In this guide, we provide the complete list of verified cheats for the PC version of GTA IV, including the Complete Edition.

How to Use Cheats in GTA IV

Cheats in GTA IV are tied to Niko’s in-game mobile phone.

1. Open the Phone: Press Up Arrow on your keyboard to bring up the phone.
2. Access the Keypad: Press Up Arrow again to bring up the dialing keypad.
3. Enter the Code: Type the specific phone numbers listed below and press the Call key (Enter).
4. The “Cheats” Menu: Once a cheat is entered successfully, it is saved in a special “Cheats” menu at the bottom of the phone’s main list for quick access later.

Warning: Activating cheats will block specific achievements (like “Cleaned the Mean Streets”) for the duration of your session. Always keep a separate save file for “cheat runs.”
