The PSP version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories features a multiplayer mode for up to six players through wifi ad-hoc mode (same area). The game features ten modes of wireless multiplayer gaming (with returning modes from Liberty City Stories), in which various pedestrian and character models from the single player mode are available as player avatars. The multiplayer is absent in the PS2 version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

The first is Vice City Survivor, the game's equivalent to Liberty City Survivor. In Vice City Survivor, players fight for themselves in a deathmatch. The first player to reach a certain number of kills or the one with the highest score when the timer runs out is the winner. Players can also play in teams, or "gangs". Ultimately, players are able to choose from over 60 different characters and play on all four islands, depending on progress through the single player storyline; however, from the start, it is limited to Vice City Mainland.
The second mode of play is Protection Racket, in which players attack an opposing player's gang base in order to destroy four limos while the other gang tries to protect them. When time runs out, or when a gang destroys all of the other gang's limos, a new round begins with the gang roles reversed.
In Get Stretch, players try to steal the rivals' gang cars from their base and take them to their base. The game ends when a gang reaches the score limit or when time runs out.
In The Hit List, one player will be chosen randomly as the Mark in the first round, and all others must try to kill them as quickly as possible. Once a Marked player has been killed, a different player will be randomly chosen to be the Mark. Making a successful kill on a Marked player will award the player with extra time that is added to their survival time at the end of the game. Once all players have been Marked and killed, the player with the longest survival time wins. The Marked player's vehicle will take damage over time.
In Street Rage, players must drive through the checkpoints to get to the finish line first. Players are allowed to change vehicles and shoot other players to win the race. Players will be automatically respawned in a vehicle on the track after a short period of time if they do not have a vehicle or if they have been killed. The player that finishes the race first wins. The Sticky Tires powerup improves vehicle handling for limited time, while Instant Repair provides an instant repair for the player's vehicle.
The Wedding List is a free-for-all game where players must collect cars scattered throughout the city and deliver them to shipping crates. Only players in the vehicles to be collected will know the destinations of the shipping crates. Cash is awarded based on the condition of the cars when they are delivered. Once all the cars have been collected and delivered, the player with the most cash wins this game mode.
In Tanks for the Memories, players have to be the first to the Rhino tank and must try to survive until the _target Tank Time is reached. Other players must try to destroy the tank before this can happen. If the Tank Time is reached, the player who caused the most damage to the tank will occupy a new tank and, as before, it must be destroyed as quickly as possible. This continues until a player reaches the Tank Time; this player is declared the winner.
In Might of the Hunter, players have to be the first to reach the Hunter and take out the remaining players. The other players must try to destroy the helicopter before this can happen.
