Modders put Vice City into GTA 5

Modders are creating Vice City in GTA 5, because that is what modders do.

The above trailer takes you on a tour through the work-in-progress city. It took me a while to realise what it was that bothered me about the video. It's not Vice City's flat textures, and the way they feel strange under GTA 5's more realistic lighting. It's that Wave 103 isn't playing in the background, as it always is whenever I'm in Vice City.

Not perfect, sure, but it works better than the attempt to mod GTA: London into GTA 5.

The map isn't finished yet, and, as such, the mod hasn't been released. While we wait, take a look through our recommended GTA 5 mods.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
