Grand Theft Auto Vice City

Welcome to Vice City—welcome to the 1980s.

After a long stint in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti finds himself back on the streets, only to be sent south by his former boss, Sonny Forelli, to Vice City. The move was meant to keep him out of trouble, but from the moment Tommy arrives in this glamorous, chaotic metropolis, things go wrong. Betrayed, broke, and empty-handed, he’s under pressure from Sonny to reclaim his losses. But with biker gangs, Cuban mobsters, and crooked officials blocking his path, Tommy faces a city that seems to want him dead. His only choice? Fight back and claim Vice City for himself.

In a tale of ambition set amidst the neon glow and pastel suits of the 1980s, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City brings to life one man’s climb up the criminal hierarchy. Vice City is a sprawling urban landscape, from sun-soaked beaches to gritty ghettos, creating a vibrant digital city unlike any before. Blending open-world freedom with a rich, character-driven story, players are thrust into a city teeming with both vice and opportunity, free to make their own path to domination.

As America’s party capital, Vice City pulses with rhythms and beats that bring the streets to life, a city as loud and alive as its nightlife. Developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City remains one of the most ambitious and immersive experiences in interactive entertainment, offering players a vast and varied playground to explore, conquer, and rule.
