For those looking for a hit of nostalgia, anyone who drops cash on a pre-order before November 20 will secure the Vintage Vice City Pack. It’s packed with neon-soaked goodies throwing it back to when the hair was big and the financial crimes were simpler.

But here is where things get a bit hilarious for the physical game collectors out there. The game officially launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Truly, we are living in the future, where buying a piece of plastic just to get a piece of paper with numbers on it is peak retail therapy.
