GTA Vice City Might Arrive on the Dreamcast Before GTA 6 Hits Shelves

Similar to GTA 3 , porting GTA: Vice City to the Dreamcast poses several technical challenges. The game's size is a major concern, as Vice City's original file size exceeds the capacity of the Dreamcast's GD-ROM. However, the development team has innovative solutions in mind, including potentially removing the game's radio stations to reduce file size.

As for the Sega Dreamcast, the discontinued console remains a fan-favorite among homebrew developers. Over the years, the console has seen numerous unofficial ports and projects, including adaptations of Super Mario 64, Counter-Strike, and most recently, the aforementioned GTA 3 port by the same people.

It's unclear when GTA: Vice City might be available to play, but the rapid progress made by the development team suggests it won't take as long as their debut project - they've got plenty of experience to rely on this time around. It wouldn't be surprising if we'll get a chance to play the game before Grand Theft Auto 6 arrives later this year, presumably between the months of October and December.

Speaking of, the timing of this port is particularly interesting. Like GTA 6, GTA: Vice City is set in the Miami-inspired fictional setting, Vice City. Although both games are set in different universes, eagle-eyed fans have already spotted what could potentially be the Vercetti Estate, owned by the GTA: Vice City protagonist, Tommy Vercetti, in the first GTA 6 trailer.
