In a comment on Meta Quest’s official YouTube channel, a representative from the company said that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is “on hold indefinitely” so that other games can be prioritized. Meta went on to confirm this statement as legitimate in an accompanying email that was sent to publication IGN. Moving forward, Meta simply said that it looks forward to collaborating more with Rockstar Games, but said nothing else about in what capacity.
“GTA: San Andreas is on hold indefinitely while we both focus on other projects,” said the comment from Meta on YouTube. “We look forward to working with our friends at Rockstar in the future.”
At this point, questions will naturally begin to arise about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ever seeing the light of day for Meta headsets. Even when it was first revealed, Meta had nothing substantial to share about San Andreas. The announcement was made only with a logo of the game and a broad confirmation that it was in the works for (at the time) Oculus Quest 2. Given how long it has been without anything new to go off of, it seems apparent that the project is in some sort of turmoil behind the scenes. Then again, perhaps Meta is just waiting until it has something substantial to show to get fans excited.
The good news here is that even if Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is going to take longer than expected to come to Meta devices, the next mainline entry in the franchise, Grand Theft Auto VI, is still on track for 2025. Take-Two Interactive recently reiterated that GTA VI is set to launch next fall and will come to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
