Although Grand Theft Auto Vice City was initially launched in 2002, many people continue to play and love the game.

But in the meanwhile, here are some things you can do to get your GTA Vice City Widescreen Fix.
GTA Vice City Widescreen Fix
To achieve a widescreen resolution fix in GTA Vice City, you’ll need to download additional mod files. However, make sure you get a copy of your game’s source file so that your saves and progressions are secured in the event of any problem. With that said, here’s how to do this:
- Go to Google and type in “GTA Vice City Widescreen mod.”
- You’ll find a link to a GitHub website where you may get the files.
- You can see how the visuals, HUD, and other UI components will look in the widescreen mode from the images.
- Extract the archive after you’ve downloaded the zip files.
- Take the scripts folder and.dll file from the unzipped files.
- Simply copy and paste both files into the GTA Vice City game directory.
- If a pop-up message appears, choose Copy and Replace.
- Now when you start the game, the widescreen aspect ratio should be fixed now.
