In 2021, shortly after Facebook rebranded itself as Meta, the company announced a new virtual reality port of Rockstar’s open-world classic, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the Quest 2. Now, after its most recent gaming presentation, it seems Facebook and Rockstar have forgotten about this VR port.
On October 28, 2021, Meta held a large digital event announcing all kinds of things and showing investors and customers what it had planned for the coming years. During a section devoted to gaming and the Meta Quest—the company’s standalone VR headset—a new GTA project was announced. Meta’s CEO himself, Mark “Totally A Human, Not A Weird Alien” Zuckerberg revealed that a VR port of 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was in development. At the time he said he was “really looking forward” to it, further adding that he thought San Andreas was “one of the greatest games ever made.”
Smash cut to June 1, 2023. Following a new digital event from Meta and the confirmation of a Quest 3, there’s no news or updates on the VR port of Mark’s favorite game. While plenty of other new games and updates to existing VR titles were revealed during Thursday’s show, Meta had nothing to share about VR San Andreas—not even a tease of a tease or a promise of more info coming soon.
