Meta has recently affirmed that it has no updates on a possible release date forGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR.GTA: San Andreasis hailed as one of thebestGrand Theft Autogamesin the whole series, so this is very disheartening for fans of the franchise who have been awaiting the launch for a long time.
GTA: San Andreas VRwas originally announced in 2021. At the time, Meta promised that the game would be available for the Oculus Quest 2 (now named Meta Quest 2) and that more details would be unveiled soon. However, three years after the announcement, development may not be going so smoothly, as the title is yet to be available.
A spokesperson from Meta has recently been asked during Connect 2023 whether the team had something new to share aboutGTA: San Andreas VRand they have confirmed that there are no updates at the moment. This strongly implies that there’s almost no possibility of the long-awaited game being out in 2023. However, the game is not officially canceled either, so there’s still hope for 2024.
Part of why is so disappointing to see the VR version ofGTA: San Andreastaking so long to come out is due to the hype around the game. Back in the day,San Andreaswas considered highly immersive, and it became a fan favorite, and the announcement catered to nostalgic fans. When the game was revealed, the CEO of Take-Two even hinted atmore VR versions of games afterSan Andreas VR, but there is no news of them coming out anytime soon either.
In fact, the development ofGTA: San Andreas VRis taking so long thatMeta has already unveiled Meta Quest 3, the successor of the hardware the game was previously announced for. Last month, Meta showcased the upcoming headset for the first time, explaining that it will improve the gamer’s experience in almost every way when compared to Meta Quest 2. The new headset will come in two versions, one with a 128 GB, and another with a 512 GB. The device will also be lighter, have six advanced camera sensors, and 8 GB of RAM, as well as an LCD monitor with 2064x2209 resolution per eye, compatibility with 6E, and other features. WhenGTA: San Andreas VRis finally out, it’s likely that it will be available for both Meta Quest 2 and 3, but the question of when exactly that will be remains.
