'Dying for this shirt' - Fans demand special Vice City shirt in GTA 6

As the anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) continues to build, fans are abuzz with discussions and speculations about what the next instalment in the iconic series will bring. Set for release next fall, the game has already generated excitement with its first trailer and has given a glimpse into one of the new protagonists, Lucia. 

Of the many hopes and dreams fans have for the game, one request has stood out: the desire to see the return of the iconic Tommy Vercetti shirt from the original Vice City. The nostalgia for Vice City runs deep among Grand Theft Auto enthusiasts. 

The game, originally released in 2002, left an indelible mark on players with its vibrant 1980s setting and memorable characters, chief among them being Tommy Vercetti, voiced by Ray Liotta. His distinctive blue Hawaiian shirt became an iconic symbol of the game, representing the laid-back yet dangerous allure of Vice City's neon-soaked streets.

Recently, a Reddit user by the handle u/jjthecooles sparked a lively discussion on the platform by expressing their fervent wish to see Tommy Vercetti's shirt making a comeback in GTA 6. They wrote, "I’m dying for this shirt to be in the game," a sentiment that quickly gained traction among other users.

Given that Vice City has been confirmed as one of the locations in GTA 6, many fans see this as a perfect opportunity for Rockstar Games to pay homage to one of the most beloved characters in the franchise's history.

Will Rockstar Games come up with more iconic outfits?

Rockstar Games has a track record of including iconic outfits from previous games in their newer titles, as evidenced by the addition of classic outfits in GTA Online last year. This precedent gives fans hope that Tommy Vercetti's shirt could make an appearance in GTA 6, providing a nostalgic nod to the series' rich history.

The first trailer for GTA 6 has already revealed a wealth of information about the upcoming game. Besides introducing main characters like Lucia and Jason, it showcased various in-game elements and confirmed the inclusion of the State of Leonida, home to the vibrant and dangerous Vice City. The game's release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S has been confirmed, though there has been no official word yet on a PC release.

While specific details about gameplay and features remain under wraps, leaks from 2022 suggest that players can expect significant changes, such as a limited weapon-carry system, new movement mechanics, and more detailed car interiors. As fans eagerly await more news, many are hopeful that Rockstar will release a second trailer later this year, offering more glimpses into what promises to be the most immersive Grand Theft Auto experience yet.
