Summary
Meta has confirmed that theOculus Quest 2VR port ofGTA: San Andreashas been “indefinitely” put on hold more than three years after it was first revealed.
Although most GTA fans have their sights solely set on GTA 6’s release at some point in Fall 2025, that isn’t the only release in the series that people have been looking forward to. WhileRockstarhas been toiling away for the last decade on the next mainline release, Meta has spent thelast three years quietly working on a VR port of GTA: San Andreas for the Oculus Quest 2.
That project was announced by Meta all the way back in late 2021 at Facebook Connectand, despite the reveal now showing any gameplay footage whatsoever, it was an exciting prospect consideringhow well it handled porting games like Resident Evil 4 to VR. Since then, we’ve heard literally nothing about it, although that’s starting to make a bit more sense after a recent statement.
GTA San Andreas VR Is “On Hold Indefinitely”
Since it’s been so long since we heard anything about GTA San Andreas' VR port, IGN reached out to Meta to get a comment on its progress and see how it’s doing behind the scenes. As it turns out, it’s not really doing anything, as it’s been confirmed by Meta that the port has been put “on hold indefinitely”.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed with IGN that the project isn’t being worked on right now and is indefinitely on hold, suggesting that it might never resume development again. The official Meta Quest VR YouTube account also shared an update on the VR portafter fans commented on a trailer for Behemoth and asked how San Andreas was progressing.
GTA: San Andreas is on hold indefinitely while we both focus on other projects. We look forward to working with our friends at Rockstar in the future.
The statement was short and simple, but confirms that GTA San Andreas VR isn’t actively in development anymore because Meta and Rockstar are both working on other projects currently. “Indefinitely” means that Meta has no idea when it might resume working on the port, so it might be best to consider it cancelled for now and then be surprised if it ever shows up again.
It’s a bit of a shock considering how big a VR port for San Andreas would be, but the fact that we haven’t seen any gameplay of San Andreas on the Oculus Quest 2 and had no updates since it was revealed suggests that development didn’t ever get too far.
