San Andreas is in development for Oculus Quest 2.
It looks like the remastered GTA Trilogy isn't the only thing Rockstar has prepared for classic Grand Theft Auto games. During Thursday's Facebook Connect livestream, Mark Zuckerberg announced that San Andreas is getting a VR makeover. “This new version of the game, which I think is one of the best games ever made, will give players a whole new way to experience this iconic open world in virtual reality,” Zuckerberg said. said.
The Oculus blog calls a project “many years in the making” but there are no screenshots or video that will be San Andreas in action. For now we just had to use our imagination.
This is the first time a Grand Theft Auto game has been officially developed for VR, but it's not quite the first. Earlier this year modders made all of Red Dead Redemption 2 playable in VR, and you can also run GTA 5 in VR if you want to play it that way. Of course, neither game was designed for VR – and neither was San Andreas, but with a new version in development for Oculus Quest 2, it's likely to be a more tailored experience.
How to overhaul San Andreas is an interesting question. First person? Motion controls? You'll learn more when we do.
