Meta has officially put the highly anticipated VR remake of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on hold indefinitely. The announcement was confirmed by a spokesperson from Meta and echoed on their official YouTube account for Meta Quest VR. Initially revealed at Facebook Connect in 2021, the VR project aimed to bring the classic 2004 game to virtual reality but has now been sidelined as Meta shifts its focus to other developments. This decision follows substantial financial losses incurred by Meta's Reality Labs division, which reported $16 billion in losses for 2023.

Despite the potential of the VR adaptation, Meta's financial woes in the VR market have ultimately stalled its development, leaving fans eager for a future revival.
