Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and GTA III are once again playable directly in a web browser, this time hosted on a site called Quenq, after an earlier browser port on DOS Zone was pulled following a DMCA claim from Take-Two. The new version still carries DOS Zone branding in its pause menu, supports keyboard, controller and touchscreen input, and includes a save/mod manager plus adjustable frame rate, running smoothly past 100 FPS on desktop and working instantly on mobile devices like the OnePlus 12.

A public records request revealed that Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava proposed a marketing partnership with Rockstar Games in June to brand parts of the county—including the airport, PortMiami, Metrorail stations, and Tropical Park—with Grand Theft Auto VI's Vice City imagery. Proposed features include a Vice City Motor Fest car show, a themed airport terminal and baggage claim, a dockyard installation modeled on the game's Port Gellhorn, and a community media space called Vice City Radio Lab. The county's sheriff has pushed back against the plan, given the game's violent, law-breaking gameplay.

Rockstar Games and Miami-Dade county's mayor's office are reportedly discussing a marketing tie-in that would rebrand parts of the county to resemble Grand Theft Auto 6's fictional Vice City, according to Rock Paper Shotgun and Axios. Proposed elements include airport signage and baggage displays, branded transit skytrains, a dockyard installation modeled on the game's Port Gellhorn, a classic-car 'Vice City Motor Fest,' murals, wrapped buses, and library programs with GTA-themed cards and recording gear. Nothing has been formally approved, and the county sheriff has publicly opposed the plan, citing the game's depiction of crime.
