Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Quest Still a Mystery as Meta Remains Silent
It has been two years since the initial announcement, and Meta, formerly known as Facebook, still refuses to confirm any details about the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Quest. The lack of updates has left fans wondering if the project has been quietly cancelled.
At the 2021 Connect conference, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled plans to bring the popular PS2-era game to the Quest 2 headset. However, since then, Meta has remained tight-lipped about the VR port, leaving fans eager for any information about its development.
The silence surrounding GTA: San Andreas on Quest has only fueled speculation about its status. Reports suggest that Video Games Deluxe, the studio behind LA Noire: The VR Case Files, was involved in the development of the VR port. However, neither Meta nor Video Games Deluxe have provided any official updates or comments.
During Connect 2023, the annual conference held by Meta, many fans hoped for an update on the status of San Andreas on Quest. However, the event mainly focused on mixed reality games, with little mention of the highly anticipated GTA: San Andreas port. Meta showcased new titles such as BAM and LEGO Bricktales, as well as offering fresh looks at Assassin’s Creed Nexus, Asgard’s Wrath 2, and Stranger Things VR.
Despite the lack of updates, there are indications that Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto series, may be working on a new VR game. In June, actor Michael Ursu’s resume briefly mentioned an “undisclosed Rockstar Game” under the VR section, suggesting that the studio is exploring virtual reality experiences. However, this information was quickly removed after being discovered.
While the fate of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Quest remains uncertain, it is clear that the demand for virtual reality experiences of classic games is strong. Fans eagerly await any updates from Meta or Rockstar Games regarding this highly anticipated VR port.
Conclusion
Despite the initial announcement two years ago, the status of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Quest remains a mystery. Meta’s silence on the subject has led to speculations about its potential cancellation. However, with indicators of Rockstar Games’ involvement in VR game development, there is still hope for fans of the franchise to experience virtual reality versions of their favorite titles.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits further updates, it is clear that the demand for VR adaptations of classic games continues to grow. Whether or not GTA: San Andreas on Quest will become a reality, the discussion surrounding this anticipated release highlights the ever-evolving landscape of virtual reality gaming.
