In October 2002, Rockstar Games changed the history of pop culture forever with the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on PlayStation 2.
Through the eyes of Tommy Vercetti (unforgettably voiced by Hollywood legend Ray Liotta), we drove through Ocean Beach for the first time behind the wheel of a white Infernus, bought the Pole Position strip club, assaulted Ricardo Díaz’s opulent mansion on Starfish Island and enjoyed the best radio soundtrack ever compiled, from Michael Jackson and Hall & Oates to Iron Maiden.
More than two decades later, we prepare to return to those same neon-lit avenues in Grand Theft Auto VI, now set in contemporary times with Jason and Lucia.

3 nods to the classic Vice City confirmed in the GTA 6 trailer:

- Nostalgic radio stations: Rockstar has confirmed nods to iconic stations like Flash FM, Wave 103 and V-Rock, which will have a presence on the radio of Leonida’s classic vehicles.
- The tribute to Tommy Vercetti: After the passing of actor Ray Liotta in 2022, players have located commemorative graffiti and artistic murals in the city’s alleys in the official footage paying tribute to the iconic blue palm tree Hawaiian shirt.
