The iconic PlayStation 2 era of Grand Theft Auto is fondly remembered by fans and critics alike, with titles like Vice City and San Andreas often cited as revolutionary. While official ports and remasters have graced various platforms over the years, a passionate team is taking things a step further by bringing Vice City to the Sega Dreamcast.

The Grand Theft Auto series has a rich history of ports, spanning from handheld consoles like the DS and PSP to more unconventional platforms.  This latest fan-driven endeavor follows the successful unofficial port of Grand Theft Auto 3 to the Dreamcast last year, showcasing the enduring appeal of both the game and the console.

The same talented individuals responsible for the GTA 3 Dreamcast port, led by developer SKMP, are now tackling Vice City. Early footage reveals promising progress, with core gameplay mechanics already functioning, albeit with some expected graphical imperfections given its current development stage.  A release date for this ambitious project is yet to be announced.

This renewed interest in the Dreamcast extends beyond Grand Theft Auto.  A vibrant community of indie developers and enthusiasts continues to support the console, even maintaining online functionality.  Other classic titles like Super Mario 64 and Counter-Strike have also been unofficially ported, highlighting the platform's versatility and enduring popularity.

The timing of this fan project coincides with the excitement surrounding the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6, slated for late 2025.  The highly anticipated return to Vice City as the game’s primary setting, as revealed in the record-breaking trailer, further amplifies the nostalgic appeal of the Dreamcast port.  2025 promises to be a significant year for Vice City fans, both old and new.
