Breaking: Meta Reveals Shocking News for Grand Theft Auto Fans!

Highlights

Meta has confirmed that there are no updates on the release date for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR, disappointing fans who have been eagerly awaiting its launch for years.

Although there haven't been any updates, the game has not been officially scrapped, offering a glimmer of hope that it might still see the light of day in 2024. It is disheartening to witness the extensive duration taken for the development of GTA: San Andreas VR, particularly given the initial excitement generated by the game and the possibilities it opened up for future VR adaptations of popular titles.

Meta has provided no updates on a potential release date for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR, leaving fans of the franchise disappointed. This is especially disheartening considering that GTA: San Andreas is widely regarded as one of the best games in the Grand Theft Auto series. The virtual reality version of the game, originally announced in 2021, was supposed to be available for the Oculus Quest 2 (now named Meta Quest 2), with more information to come. However, it has been three years since the announcement and it seems that development may not be progressing as expected, as the game is still not available.

A spokesperson from Meta was recently asked during Connect 2023 if there were any new updates regarding GTA: San Andreas VR. The spokesperson confirmed that, as of now, there are no updates available. This strongly suggests that the highly anticipated game is unlikely to be released in 2023. However, it is important to note that the game has not been officially canceled, leaving room for hope that it may be released in 2024.

The delay in releasing the VR version of GTA: San Andreas is disappointing due to the game's significant hype and nostalgic appeal. The CEO of Take-Two previously hinted at more VR versions of games beyond San Andreas VR, but there is no current news about their release.

Moreover, the development of GTA: San Andreas VR has taken so long that Meta has already announced the Meta Quest 3. Last month, Meta introduced the upcoming headset, which promises substantial improvements compared to the previous Meta Quest 2. The new headset will be available in two versions, with different storage capacities. It will also be lighter and equipped with advanced camera sensors, enhanced RAM, and an LCD monitor offering high resolution per eye. Additionally, it will support 6E compatibility and other features. The release date for GTA: San Andreas VR on both Meta Quest 2 and 3 remains uncertain.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR is currently in development.
