GTA: London 1969 is an expansion to the original Grand Theft Auto, and its cheat words are not the same as the base game's list. It also has separate PC and PlayStation entries. The safest way to use a historical guide is to identify the expansion and platform before selecting an effect.

This article lists documented built-in codes. It does not provide a modified game download, claim that a modern phone port exists or describe the codes as tested by NextPlayIntel. The London 1969 game profile explains the expansion's setting and development.

How to enter GTA London 1969 cheat codes

Enter the code in the player-name field and confirm it before starting. These are name-screen inputs, not commands for a modern console window. A reference to pressing an asterisk means an additional in-game action after the relevant PC name has enabled it.

The iGrandTheftAuto London reference separates PC and PlayStation. Keep that separation when checking a code: a PlayStation word can be perfectly valid and still be the wrong instruction for a Windows installation.

PC: practical codes

  • Infinite lives: 6661970.

  • No police: iamfilth or tithead.

  • Unlock levels: travelcard or flashmotor.

  • Allow shooting from vehicles: driveby.

  • Enable weapons with the asterisk key: asawindow or deathtoall, then press *.

  • Change the vehicle's color with the horn: psychadelic.

  • Set points to 999,999,999: averyrichman.

The unusual spelling of psychadelic is intentional. A spellchecker correcting a cheat word can turn a working instruction into a different string. Numbers in 6661970 are also part of the code, not a release date to substitute.

PlayStation: practical codes

  • 99 lives: MCVICAR.

  • All levels: RAZZLE or READERWIFE.

  • Five-times multiplier: SIDEBURN.

  • 9,999,990 points: BIGBEN.

  • Broad combination of effects: HAROLDHAND.

  • Levels, weapons, ammunition, jail card, armor and multiplier: FREEMANS.

Combined-effect names deserve special care because they change several things at once. They are useful for an experimental session but less helpful when trying to isolate a single difficulty. A level-unlock code is easier to interpret than a bundle if the only goal is to inspect another chapter.

Why GETCARTER is not a simple health shortcut

Historical lists describe GETCARTER as a large package of effects that includes maximum wanted level. It should not be presented as a harmless way to add equipment while everything else remains normal. A player looking for less police pressure would be choosing the wrong kind of combination.

Similarly, a diagnostic code is not automatically a useful gameplay cheat. This article leaves diagnostic entries out of the practical list rather than guessing what their internal effects mean. The London code reference provides another platform-separated archive for comparison.

London 1969 versus London 1961

London 1961 was a later PC mission pack. The similar titles lead to mixed search results, but they should not be presented as two identical platform releases. A PlayStation London 1969 list does not establish a PlayStation version of London 1961.

Use the London 1961 reference for the limits of the surviving documentation. In particular, distinguish a shared historical London code list from a test performed on a specific 1961 installation.

Troubleshooting and keeping progress separate

If nothing changes, confirm that the expansion itself launched, then revisit the name-entry step. For asterisk-triggered effects, complete the second step in gameplay. If the wrong effect appears, check whether a combination code was used instead of a single-purpose one.

Retain an untouched progress file before experimenting. The value of that copy is not that every code is known to damage a save; it is that an unchanged starting point makes the result reversible and easier to diagnose. This guide does not promise modern achievements, cloud saves or current operating-system compatibility for the historical release.
