Rockstar’s classic open-world franchise will make its official virtual reality debut with GTA San Andreas coming to Oculus Quest.

Announced at the showcase event Games To Connect, the Oculus team has revealed that the company has been collaborating with Rockstar Games to bring Grand Theft Auto San Andreas to the Oculus Quest 2.

This partnership reinforces the commitment to older games that Rockstar has displayed by porting their older titles to new consoles, as well as the release of the new GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about his frequent collaborator’s new music, Snoop seemed to think that it was tied directly to the studio’s next game: “So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game”

Whether these comments are tied to GTA 6 or to an updated soundtrack for the California-inspired San Andreas remains to be seen.
