"GTA: San Andreas is on hold indefinitely while we both focus on other projects," the account confirmed. "We look forward to working with our friends at Rockstar in the future."Meta Platforms Inc's (NASDAQ:META) has shelved its ambitious plan to bring "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" into the world of virtual reality.
Meta平台公司（NASDAQ：META）已經擱置了將「俠盜獵車手：聖安地列斯」引入虛擬現實世界的雄心壯志。
What Happened: The Facebook and Instagram parent company is putting the VR remake of the classic Rockstar Games title "on hold indefinitely" after three years of anticipation.
發生了什麼事：這家Facebook和Instagram的母公司在三年的期待後，「無限期掛起」了這個經典的Rockstar遊戲的VR翻版。
In a statement provided to IGN, a Meta spokesperson confirmed the indefinite delay. The official Meta Quest VR YouTube account echoed this development, responding to user comments on a trailer for the upcoming VR game, Behemoth by Skydance Games.
在向IGN提供的一份聲明中，Meta的發言人確認了無限期的延遲。Meta Quest VR官方的YouTube賬號也回應了這一進展，回覆了即將推出的VR遊戲Behemoth by Skydance Games的用戶評論。
"GTA: San Andreas is on hold indefinitely while we both focus on other projects," the account confirmed. "We look forward to working with our friends at Rockstar in the future."
「俠盜獵車手：聖安地列斯」無限期擱置，我們將同時關注其他項目，”該賬號確認。「我們期待與我們在未來的Rockstar公司一起工作。」
Why It Matters: The delay is a significant blow to Meta's virtual reality aspirations.
爲什麼它很重要：這個延遲是對Meta虛擬現實抱負的重大打擊。
The company initially announced the VR version of "GTA: San Andreas" during Facebook Connect back in October 2021. Recall how the Menlo Park, California-based conglomerate aggressively pursued a VR-driven future.
該公司最初在2021年10月的Facebook連接活動中宣佈了「俠盜獵車手：聖安地列斯」的虛擬現實版本。回想一下這家總部位於加利福尼亞州門洛帕克的企業如何積極追求虛擬現實驅動能力。
The game was described as "a project many years in the making," yet no gameplay footage or release window was ever revealed.
這個遊戲被描述爲「多年的項目」，但從未透露任何遊戲玩法的畫面或發佈時間。
Meta's VR division, Reality Labs, is reportedly hemorrhaging money, with losses totaling $16 billion in 2023 alone.
報道稱，Meta的VR部門Reality Labs在2023年單獨虧損了160億美元。
These financial struggles have likely played a role in Meta's decision to put the project on hold, as the company reassesses its priorities in a rapidly changing market.
這些財務困境可能在Meta決定擱置該項目時發揮了作用，因爲該公司正在重新評估其在一個快速變化的市場中的優先事項。
