FAQ
Does playing in the browser require a download?
The browser loads the game resources before the first session. You do not need to install a separate desktop application, but the first resource download still needs to complete.
How do I enter a car in GTA Vice City?

Where do I go after the opening?
Follow the pink blip on the minimap to find the hotel. This is the first objective shown when the opening scenes end.
Is this GTA Online or Vice City?
This page opens a browser edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the single-player game originally released in 2002. It is separate from GTA Online.
Why is there a 30 FPS option?
The browser launcher warns that an unlimited frame rate can affect classic-game physics. It recommends a 30 FPS limit if a mission is affected or a lower-powered device overheats.
