The HK MSG90 rifle, a military variant of the PSG-1, was first featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and is also seen in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. The rifle is labelled as the "PSG-1" only in the original PS2 version of Vice City; all other versions label it '''.308 Sniper''', and it is labelled '''Laser Sighted Sniper Rifle''' in Liberty City Stories.  In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the MSG90 is replaced by a [[Dragunov]] (SVD-1) to fit the game's setting of [[1984]].

The PSG-1 (not a MSG90) in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] is referenced in-game as the '''Combat Sniper'''.  It has a ten-round magazine, and excellent range.  The reticule used is not a standard [[wp:Telescopic_sight#Mil-dot_reticles|mil-dot]], but the graduated sight found on the Russian [http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn18-e.htm SVD Dragunov]'s PSO-1 scope.  During first-person aiming, if the player is standing, there is a noticeable movement of the scope due to [[Niko Bellic]]'s breathing.  This can be minimised by crouching.
