The Definitive Edition of Vice City is in our hands after years of speculation and fan wishes! The excitement can hardly be contained here at Pro Game Guides, and the best thing is that the controls have been updated too! Gone are the days of fumbling the PS2!
If you've played Grand Theft Auto V, you'll be familiar with the new controls in the Vice City remaster. Rockstar Games completely reconfigured the controller to match what they implemented for GTA V, making it much easier to control Tommy and his actions.
You can find all controller mappings below:

These controls are the same no matter what console you're playing on, be it Xbox One or Series S/X, or PS4/PS5. So the only difference is going to be if you press A, X, Y, B or cross, square, triangle, circle.
These controller upgrades along with engine updates make driving and moving around the game so much easier and smoother. There's no more feeling overwhelmed and things don't get out of hand…as easily. Let's face it, it's still a manic game!
The old animations for attacking and such remain the same, which we think is fantastic because you get a more modernized experience while retaining the original nature of the game that made it so great in the first place. 10/10 for the experience!
