Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is coming to Oculus Quest 2 — and it may redefine open world video games

After Resident Evil 4 was released in VR, it appears that more titles from the mid-2000s are coming to Oculus Quest 2, including the popular Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

During Facebook Connect 2021, Mark Zuckerberg himself announced that the company plans to bring Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to its Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality headset. Unfortunately for fans of the immensely popular entry in Rockstar’s open world franchise, no further price or release date news has been announced.

Right now, a blog post on the Oculus official site simply promises “a new perspective on Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas while you experience (again or for the first time) one of the game’s most iconic open worlds”.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was originally released for PlayStation 2 in 2004 and has been ported to a variety of retro and modern platforms in the years since. A completely redesigned version of the game will accompany two other popular entries from the series in Grand Theft Auto in November: The Trilogy: The Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S | X, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Other important announcements on Facebook Connect this year include a sequel to Blade & Sorcery called Blade & Sorcery Nomad, extensive updates for the VR-only battle royale title Population One, and new content for the much-admired rhythm game Beat Saber.

Vertigo Games also announced that it is working on five new games set in “Fan-Favorite Game Worlds by Deep Silver and Others”. This could mean potential releases in franchises like Shenmue, Saints Row, or even Persona, although the studio will remain closed for the time being.

In other news, Zuckerberg also announced that Facebook’s company name will be renamed “Meta”. Therefore, from 2022, Oculus Quest will be known as the “Meta Quest”. The decision to rename the platform is made so that it can be incorporated right into what Facebook calls the “Metaverse”.
