GTA Vice City browser port
Short answer
Taken downNo, not from the people who made it. The GTA Vice City browser port by DOS Zone, built on the reVC engine, was taken down in December 2025 after a Take-Two notice, even though it asked for your own game files. Since September 2026 the site Quenq re-hosts a full copy, which we don't link. As of 13 Nov 2026, Rockstar has no browser version.
We don't link to this host. Here's why.

What happened to the GTA Vice City browser port?
GTA Vice City went live in the browser on DOS Zone in December 2025 and was gone by 24 Dec 2025. A brand-protection firm, EBRAND, emailed the team on Take-Two’s behalf. It cited the game’s artwork, logos and branding and threatened legal action unless the project was shut down. DOS Zone’s page still says the build was removed at Take-Two’s request.
Why did Take-Two remove it if you needed your own files?
The GTA Vice City build on DOS Zone only played a short demo before asking for files from your own PC copy. Take-Two objected anyway, because the build was a modified version of the game engine running on a platform Rockstar never approved. Rockstar’s mod guidelines, updated on 10 Sep 2026, now say this directly: its games may not be modified to run on unreleased platforms.
Is there a GTA Vice City browser link that still works?
GTA Vice City still loads on Quenq, a site of browser games and emulators, since about September 2026. Quenq advertises the same revcDOS engine but serves the whole game, and Rockstar and Take-Two haven’t approved it. We don’t link Quenq: it re-hosts someone else’s port, and players reported unwanted links and payment prompts on phones.
Does GTA Vice City work in a browser on a phone or Chromebook?
GTA Vice City in a browser isn’t available legally on any device. The official way to play it on phones and tablets is GTA: Vice City – The Definitive Edition, sold as a separate app on Google Play and the App Store. It was free for Netflix members until 13 Dec 2024, when it left Netflix Games; Netflix progress doesn’t carry over to the store version.
Other ways to play GTA Vice City
GTA Vice City’s remastered version is part of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, sold for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. If you own the original 2002 PC game, it still runs on Windows. Our page on GTA browser games covers what happened to the GTA 5 browser port.
How do I avoid fake GTA Vice City sites?
GTA Vice City copies are a common bait for fake download buttons and paywalls. Avoid any site that asks for payment, pushes notifications or offers a Vice City “web edition” download. Our guide on how to spot fake ports lists the warning signs.

More questions about the GTA Vice City browser port
Can you play GTA Vice City in a browser legally?
No. Rockstar has never released a browser version, and its mod guidelines from 10 Sep 2026 forbid running its games on platforms it hasn't released them for. Every browser copy online is unofficial.
Is the GTA Vice City on Quenq safe?
Not something we can recommend. Quenq re-hosts DOS Zone's engine with the full game, and players reported unwanted links, an Apple Pay flow and a full-screen interstitial on phones. We don't link it.
Did the GTA Vice City browser port need your own game files?
Yes, the original did. DOS Zone's build ran a short demo and asked for files from your own PC copy to unlock the full game; Take-Two removed it anyway.
How did GTA Vice City run in a browser?
Through reVC, a fan project that rebuilt Vice City's code as readable C++. DOS Zone compiled it to WebAssembly so the game ran inside a browser tab.
Can you play GTA Vice City on a phone?
Not legally. Rockstar's official mobile version is GTA: Vice City – The Definitive Edition, sold on Google Play and the App Store. It left Netflix Games on 13 Dec 2024.
Is the Vice City web build on GitHub?
Partly. The revcDOS source has been mirrored on code-hosting sites, but it needs the game's files to run and doesn't make a browser copy legal. We don't link those mirrors.
