A few days ago, modder ‘xoxor4d’ released a Path Tracing RTX Remix Mod for Grand Theft Auto 4. And yesterday, YouTuber ‘MxBenchmarkPC’ shared a video, showcasing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City with this mod.
For those wondering, this isn’t the original GTA: Vice City game. Instead, it is a Vice City Mod for Grand Theft Auto 4. This is why you can use the RTX Remix with it. Right now, you can’t make xoxor4d’s Path Tracing Mod work with the original game.
This Vice City Mod is no other than Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition is a free remaster of the classic GTA game. This project brought all the missions, the whole map, and content from the original game to the RAGE Engine.
GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition has an improved version of the city and weapons from the Definitive Edition. All the cars from the Xbox version of the original game are present here. Additionally, all the models of all characters and peds will be from the Xbox version. Plus, you will find all the radio stations from the PS2 version.
And that’s not all. GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition has additional missions of city services. You will find racing missions in Hyman Memorial Stadium and in Sunshine Autos. We also get the side missions of Sunshine Autos Import Garage.
In short, GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition is the best way to play Vice City on PC. You can download it from here. And now, thanks to the RTX Remix Mod, you can enjoy it with real-time Path Tracing.
As with GTA 4, GTA: Vice City with Path Tracing is extremely demanding. Later today, we’ll have some benchmarks from the path-traced version of GTA 4. So, stay tuned for more.
These past few months, we’ve shared a lot of RTX Remix Mods. So, you can find mods for Black Mesa, Star Wars Republic Commando, NFS: Underground, and Manhunt. You can also find some for BioShock, Morrowind, NFS: Underground 2, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Unreal, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
In January 2024, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider 2, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Then, in February 2024, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4, and Midnight Club 2. Be sure to also check out some early RTX Remix videos and screenshots for Fallout: New Vegas, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, COD 2, and Half-Life.
Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for Painkiller and Left 4 Dead 2. Oh, and don’t forget to try this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. Lastly, you can download these amazing Path Tracing Mods for Doom, Doom 2, Quake, and Serious Sam.
Have fun!
