Announced long ago, the game project that many may have forgotten about is the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR version for the Meta Quest 2 glasses. Back in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg had revealed this exciting news, but 3 years have passed since then, and with the Quest glasses undergoing upgrades, news about the game has strangely disappeared.
Suddenly, the Meta team resurfaces to discuss this game once more, even responding to game fans’ comments on YouTube. This all stemmed from the Skydance’s Behemoth VR game clip for Meta Quest, garnering positive feedback. However, the status of San Andreas VR remains unknown, with the Meta team commenting that the game is on indefinite hold as they focus on other projects.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed this to IGN, hinting at a stagnant VR market that has led to various game companies, including Meta, delaying or halting VR game development. As a result, even Meta has cut costs in the VR department, including shutting down VR game studios acquired in the past.
TLDR: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR for Meta Quest 2 has been put on hold indefinitely as both Meta and Rockstar shift their focus to other projects due to a lackluster VR market growth.
