How different are the cheats on the Switch?

The Switch ports of the games are a bit of a downgrade in terms of visuals compared to their console and PC counterparts. Even the Netflix's mobile port of Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Definitive Edition looks way better than the Switch's version. This downgrade seems to be applicable for cheats as well, as several cheat codes that worked in the original trilogy are no longer supported in the remasters. This was allegedly done due to hardware limitations.

However, there is one new cheat code (the Konami code) that initiates 'big head mode'. This cheat code is applicable on all three games, across all platforms but PC.

All character models, including the player and NPCs, get a comically large head, like that of a bobblehead. The rest of the cheats are the same, and have the same effects as well.

Is the Switch port worth playing?

By now, most Rockstar Games fans are well-aware of the disastrous launch that the Definitive Edition Trilogy had. This was especially true for PC and Switch, as the games were nearly unplayable on these platforms. Being the most complex game in the trilogy, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was a bit more buggy than the rest.

However, with several title updates released since then, Rockstar has patched out most of the issues that these games have had. The games are quite stable on all platforms right now. While PC is still the best platform to enjoy these games, thanks to mods, the Switch versions aren't bad either.

These are much more enjoyable than the mobile remasters, which are graphically inferior, and a lot more buggy. As of March 2024, Rockstar has also released the Definitive Edition remasters for mobile devices.
