'''Vice City''' is one of the fictional locations featured in the GTA series. So far it has two renditions for three games: one seen in the [[Grand Theft Auto 1|original ''GTA'']], and the other seen in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]''. The city also exists in the [[HD Universe]], which has started afresh in the current canon. It has been mentioned many times in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', its [[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City|episodes]] and ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'', along with other locations from the GTA Series, and other Rockstar game titles. However, the city and its physical apperance has yet to appear in the HD Universe. It may possibly appear in Grand Theft Auto VI but this has not been confirmed whatsoever.

Vice City is one of the fictional locations featured in the GTA series. So far it has two renditions for three games: one seen in the original GTA, and the other seen in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The city also exists in the HD Universe, which has started afresh in the current canon. It has been mentioned many times in Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes and Grand Theft Auto V, along with other locations from the GTA Series, and other Rockstar game titles. However, the city and its physical apperance has yet to appear in the HD Universe.

Description

As the HD Universe is apart from the old GTA games and follows a separate canon, it is possible that Rockstar will redesign the city in the same way they did with Liberty City and Los Santos if it is to make an appearance in a future GTA game.

In GTA V, on the in-game TV show Gordon Moorehead Rides Again, which is set in 1947, the two main characters refer to Vice City as a swamp-like area, though the authenticity of this is debatable.

Vice City is based on the city of Miami, Florida, and as such is referred to as being "down south".
