GTA Vice City for PC
Play as Tommy Vercetti in a neon-soaked 1980s crime story with open-world driving, missions, weapons, radio stations, and side activities across Vice City.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
GTA Vice City is a third-person open-world action game set in a fictional city inspired by 1980s Miami. The PC version gives players keyboard and mouse control, adjustable display settings, and a smoother way to revisit the story on modern Windows systems.
The game follows Tommy Vercetti after he arrives in Vice City and gets pulled into a failed deal. From there, the story moves through gangs, businesses, property missions, shootouts, and a climb through the city underworld.
