The GTA Vice City next-gen edition mod is here, and it’s a total blast from the past—if the past was remastered in GTA 4’s engine. Created by modding group Revolution Team, this ambitious GTA Vice City mod ports the entire game—missions, cutscenes, and all—into a next-gen makeover, despite Take-Two’s ongoing war against fan-made projects.

Originally, the mod required players to own a copy of GTA 4 to run, which the devs claimed was out of “respect for the publisher.” But after Take-Two nuked their YouTube channel two days before launch, the Revolution Team decided to drop that requirement, making the GTA Vice City Next-Gen Edition a standalone game. While that makes it easier to play, it also makes it a prime target for a takedown.

In a statement, Revolution Team explained their frustration, saying their original teaser trailer gained over 100,000 views in under a day before their channel was deleted. Now, they’ve created a new channel, but they fear that many eager fans may never see their hard work.

This isn’t the first time Take-Two has cracked down on fan projects. Just last week, the Liberty City Preservation Project was shut down after Rockstar requested its removal. With GTA 6 looming on the horizon, Take-Two isn’t pulling any punches. So, if you want to experience Vice City like never before, you might want to grab this Gta Vice City next gen edition mod before it vanishes for good.
