It’s been nearly three years now since Meta and Rockstar Games announced they were working together on a dedicated VR version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the former’s virtual reality headsets, though it seems the project isn’t going to come together the way some had hoped it would, as the last three years of radio silence may have suggested.
In a statement provided to IGN, Meta has confirmed that it has suspended development of GTA: San Andreas VR indefinitely.
“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,” a Meta spokesperson said.
There’s no word on whether the companies intend to revive the project at any point down the line, but for now, it doesn’t look like San Andreas VR is going to see the light of day- or if it does, it will not be anytime soon.
It also remains to be seen what this means for Take-Two Interactive’s future plans in the VR space. The company has expressed interest in expanding its VR presence in the past, though with San Andreas VR’s development being put on hold, plans may have changed internally.
