San Andreas Game Cheats Xbox 360: Every Working Code and How to Enter It
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is still one of the most loved open-world games ever made, and the San Andreas game cheats for Xbox 360 are a big part of why. This list gives you real, working codes for the 2014 Xbox 360 port of the game, sorted by what they do, so you can find the one you want fast. Every code below has been checked against several current sources and matched to the actual Xbox 360 button layout, so you won’t waste time typing in a combo that does nothing.
Why San Andreas Xbox 360 Cheats Are Still Popular
San Andreas came out in 2004, and players are still typing in these same codes on Xbox 360 more than twenty years later. Part of the reason is simple: no other Grand Theft Auto game gives you this many button codes to play with. You can turn Los Santos into a warzone, fly a jet off Sweet’s roof, or just skip the grind and hand CJ a stack of guns before dinner. Cheats also make the game friendlier for newer players who want to see the story without fighting through every mission on hard mode.
Which San Andreas Xbox 360 Version This List Covers
There are three different Xbox releases of San Andreas, and they do not all use the same button layout. This page covers the 2014 Xbox 360 port, the version most people play today through backward compatibility or Games on Demand.
If you own the original 2005 Xbox disc, some of your triggers and bumpers are swapped compared to the codes below. If you are playing Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy on Xbox One or Series X|S, that version uses a separate set of codes and dropped a few classic effects. Mixing up the three lists is the most common reason a San Andreas Xbox 360 cheat “does not work.”
How to Enter San Andreas Cheats on Xbox 360
Entering a cheat is simple once you know the pattern.
- Play normally. Do not pause the game or open a menu first.
- Use the D-pad for Up, Down, Left, and Right. The left stick will not register the code.
- Press the buttons in order, at a normal, steady pace.
- Watch for a small “Cheat Activated” message on screen. That confirms it worked.
- Move CJ into an open area before using any vehicle-spawn code, so the vehicle has room to appear.
One more note before the list: turning on a cheat disables Xbox achievements for that save file. Start a separate save just for messing around with codes, and keep your main save clean.
The Most Used San Andreas Game Cheats for Xbox 360
These are the codes players search for the most. The full category lists are further down the page.
- Full health, full armor, and $250,000: RT, RB, LT, A, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up
- Near-infinite health: Down, A, Right, Left, Right, RT, Right, Down, Up, Y
- Weapon Set 1 (basic guns): RT, RB, LT, RB, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up
- Infinite ammo, no reloading: LT, RT, X, RT, Left, RB, RT, Left, X, Down, LT, LT
- Clear your wanted level: RT, RT, B, RB, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down

Money, Health, and Armor Codes
The health and money code is the one most players want first, since it gives you a strong start with almost no risk.
- Full health, full armor, $250,000: RT, RB, LT, A, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up. This also repairs CJ’s current car, and you can enter it again for another $250,000.
- Near-infinite health: Down, A, Right, Left, Right, RT, Right, Down, Up, Y. CJ can still die from drowning, falling too far, explosions, or being run over, so this is not full invincibility.
- Suicide: Right, LB, Down, RT, Left, Left, RT, LT, LB, LT. This kills CJ right away, which is mostly used to reset a bad situation fast.
There is no true infinite money code on Xbox 360. Anyone claiming otherwise is likely repeating an old, wrong list.
Weapon and Ammo Codes
San Andreas gives you three separate weapon sets, so pick the one that matches the style you want.
- Weapon Set 1: RT, RB, LT, RB, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up. Gives brass knuckles, a bat, a 9mm pistol, shotgun, micro SMG, AK-47, rifle, rocket launcher, Molotovs, and a spray can.

- Weapon Set 3: RT, RB, LT, RB, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Down, Down. Gives a chainsaw, silenced pistol, combat shotgun, SMG, M4, heat-seeking rocket launcher, and satchel charges.
- Infinite ammo with no reloading: LT, RT, X, RT, Left, RB, RT, Left, X, Down, LT, LT
Police and Wanted Level Codes
These codes change how much heat CJ is dealing with right now.
- Add two wanted stars: RT, RT, B, RB, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right

- Lock your current wanted level: B, Right, B, Right, Left, X, Y, Up

Codes People Search For That Do Not Work
A lot of old lists mix real San Andreas Xbox 360 cheats with codes that were never real, or that got the wrong label attached. Here are the ones worth clearing up.
- “Maximum Stamina” using Up, A, Y, A, Y, A, X, RB, Right. This code is real, but the name is wrong. It gives every taxi rechargeable nitrous and an extra jump move instead. It does not touch CJ’s stamina.
- Playing as other characters. No working code changes CJ’s model on this port.
- Instant clothing change. Does not work. Use a wardrobe or a clothes shop instead.
- Headless CJ glitch. This needs local two-player mode, which was removed from the 2014 Xbox 360 port, so it cannot be done here.
- A dedicated BMX spawn code. Does not exist on Xbox 360. Find one in the game world.
If you enjoy hunting for these kinds of codes, our list of secret codes for other games covers a few more titles where old cheat lists get mixed up the same way.
Save File and Achievement Warning
Cheats and achievements do not mix well. Once you type a code, achievements are turned off for that save until you load one that has never had a cheat used on it. A few codes change more of the game than a simple money or car cheat:
- Pedestrian and gang codes (like making everyone attack CJ) can mess up missions if left on.
- Riot Mode should never be saved over your main file.
- Weather and time codes are safe to save, since they do not change how the world behaves.
The safest habit is to keep one save just for the story, and a second save just for playing around with codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do San Andreas cheats disable achievements on Xbox 360?
Yes. Any code you enter turns off achievements for that save file until you load one that has never had a cheat used on it.
Is there really no infinite money code?
Right. The health, armor, and money code gives $250,000 each time you enter it, but nothing on Xbox 360 gives endless cash on its own.
Can I turn a cheat off after turning it on?
Some codes toggle off if you enter them a second time. Others, like world-state changes, are safer to remove by reloading a clean save.
Do these codes work on the newer Definitive Edition?
No, not as a full set. The Definitive Edition uses a different button layout and dropped a few older effects, so use a code list made for that version instead.
Why did a code I found online not work for me?
It is almost always a mismatch between Xbox versions. The original 2005 Xbox disc swaps some triggers and bumpers compared to the 2014 Xbox 360 port used in this list.
Are San Andreas Xbox 360 cheats safe to use?
Yes. They will not damage your console or corrupt your save in a lasting way. A few pedestrian and riot codes can get messy if saved over your story file, so keep a separate save and you will be fine.
