Vice City

Note: Frame rate is unlocked (0) for best performance on modern hardware. However, the original game was designed for 30 FPS. Unlocked framerates may cause weird physics bugs.

If you get stuck on a mission due to physics, or if you are playing on a low-end or mobile device that is overheating, change the limit above to 30.

About Vice City Web Edition

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Web Edition brings the legendary open world experience of 1986 Miami directly into your browser. Set in a sprawling, neon-soaked metropolis inspired by 1980s Miami, Vice City stands as one of the most iconic environments in gaming history.

The story follows Tommy Vercetti, a mobster recently released from prison after serving fifteen years. He is sent to Vice City by his former boss Sonny Forelli to oversee a drug deal. When the deal is ambushed and both the money and the drugs are lost, Tommy is left to pick up the pieces.

As he works to recover what was lost and take revenge on the Forelli family, Tommy becomes involved with the city's various criminal organizations and power players. Over time, he builds his own network of businesses and influence, ultimately rising to control Vice City's criminal underworld.

This technical port is built on the reVCDOS codebase, which utilizes the reverse-engineered reVC engine. This version requires no downloads and no installation because assets stream dynamically as you play. It is a complete, self-contained experience that preserves every mission from the original 2002 release.

Key Features:

  • Integrated Save Manager: You can upload your existing .b save files from a PC or PS2 to resume your progress. You can also download backups to keep your virtual progress safe.
  • Instant Access: There are no large initial downloads. The WebAssembly engine loads in seconds and streams the map as you drive.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Play with a standard keyboard and mouse on desktop or use integrated touch controls on mobile devices.
