Unlocking achievements is something that a lot of GTA Vice City Definitive Edition players love to do, as the remastered version of the game has introduced 13 new achievements. Players can spend their time unlocking these along with the original ones from the previous version of the game.

As the Definitive edition of GTA Vice City has introduced new achievements, it is important to understand how they are achieved as many of these trophies are hard to get.

There are over 43 achievements and trophies in GTA Vice City Definitive Edition, and they are divided into five categories based on how they are achieved. This guide will help players get them all.

Those are all the achievements and trophies that players can unlock while playing GTA Vice City Definitive Edition. While these trophies might seem easy, they are still tricky to achieve. This is especially true for the missable ones, as there is still no feature that lets players replay certain missions. So, if a player misses one of their achievements, they either have to play from the last checkpoint or start the game all over again.
