GTA: San Andreas suddenly launched a virtual reality version.

It seems that the GTA Remastered trilogy isn’t the only thing Rockstar Games is developing for its classic Grand Theft Auto titles. During the recent Facebook Connect event, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg suddenly announced that GTA: San Andreas will launch a VR version exclusively for the Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality headset.

Specifically, during the recent Facebook Connect event, the tech giant confirmed that Rockstar’s favorite open-world game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, will appear in Oculus Quest 2. The 17-year-old title This will become the second VR game of Rockstar Games and the first game in the GTA series to be adapted to VR.

Last year, rumors about a new open-world VR title from Rockstar started circulating on the internet. Rockstar Games’ only VR game right now is a scaled-down version of LA: Noire. That seems to be Rockstar’s way of experimenting with VR and gaining interest from the fan base. Now, it seems the company has decided to pursue more VR projects with the launch of GTA: San Andreas VR.

Currently, there are not any images or details describing the VR version of GTA: San Andreas, when it will release or how it will play. It was also recently confirmed by the company that GTA: San Andreas will be coming to new platforms as part of three GTA Remastered titles that will release this coming November. It is unclear whether this VR version of GTA: San Andreas will use the remastered version.

VR is a whole new frontier for the GTA series and it’s exciting that San Andreas is the first game Rockstar to launch a VR version of. That’s thanks to Facebook’s Oculus virtual reality glasses and VR-focused PlayStation. PlayStation has revealed that it’s working on its next generation of VR, and it could launch in time for the 2022 holiday season. It’s a little surprising that Rockstar hasn’t taken a clear path with GTA V, when this game has a first person perspective, it is very suitable for developing the VR version.
