One of the best parts about playing through a classic game, like the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, are the old school cheat codes that accompany it. For whatever reason, cheats have slowly become increasingly less prominent throughout the gaming industry, but the Spyro the Dragon trilogy remake isn't going to pass by the opportunity to offer players the chance to bask in the glory of cheat codes one more time. Screen Rant's Spyro Reignited Trilogy review described it as the ultimate HD remake, after all, and what kind of revamp would it be without classic cheats?

Spyro Reignited Trilogy actually features a number of codes that originate from the classic PlayStation games, ranging from a big head mode to complete color swaps. Both of these and more are sure to be entertaining for longtime fans of the purple dragon, and the best part of all of it is that entering these codes will not deactivate the ability to earn trophies or achievements. Since that was the case with Red Dead Redemption 2's cheat codes, this is a welcomed revelation for fans.
