Rockstar Games recently released the remasteredGrand Theft Auto: Vice Cityas part ofGrand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition,and fans continue to discover Easter eggs in the classic titles. One player recently noticed the inclusion of Michael’s prologue jacket from the much more recentGTA 5.
Michael wears an assortment of clothes inGrand Theft Auto 5, ranging from shirts and pants equipped by players to preset clothes intended for him to wear from Rockstar Games themselves. Michael’s preset clothes during the prologue of the latest numbered entry in theGrand Theft Autoseries show the protagonist clad in dark-blue jeans, black and beige sneakers, and a red plaid winter coat. This thick jacket has been discovered by an eagle-eyedGTAfan in a Vice City clothing shop during a playthrough ofGrand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition.

Reddit user Kane-Trevorrow recently posted a screenshot of aGTA: Vice Cityclothing shop showing protagonist Tommy Vercetti standing in front of a wall with two racks of a familiar red plaid jacket. These jackets can be found in Vice City clothing shops alongside clothing similar to what Franklin wore inGrand Theft Auto 5cinematics. With bothGTA 5protagonists being represented in these clothing shops, the lack of Trevor’s thick green prologue coat and winter boots is noticeable.
GTA 5begins with a prologue that introduces two of the main characters of the game and one of the main aspects of the newest mainlineGTAtitle: heists. Although Michael is typically wearing expensive suits and watches inGrand Theft Auto 5, the prologue shows him in a significantly different light. The prologue takes place in a frigid landscape covered in snow known as Ludendorff which was a fitting setting for Michael to wear a thick coat, though in comparisonGrand Theft Auto: Vice City’s version of Miami is a stranger place to wear thick winter clothing.
There are many newGTAfans who joined the franchise withGrand Theft Auto 5and they may be more likely to discoverGTA 5Easter eggs such as thisVice Cityone. Some of the other Rockstar Games Easter eggs inGrand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Editioninclude both theRed Dead Redemptiontitlesand otherGTAtitles. With over 20 million copies ofGrand Theft Auto 5sold, more of theseGTA 5Easter eggs may be discovered as more players explore Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City.
While players can discover Michael’sGTA 5prologue jacket inGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, it appears that players can’t purchase and wear the winter garb. Although someGTAfans use this coat as an example of Rockstar Games reusing assets, the jacket doesn’t appear exactly as it did inGrand Theft Auto 5’s prologue. It’s likely that a lot of assets in the originalGrand Theft Auto Trilogyinspired clothing inGTA 5, whileGrand Theft Auto 5may have inspired some of the art direction of the recent remasters.
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Editionis available right now for mobile, Nintendo Switch PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
