GTA San Andreas VR On Hold As Meta Reality Labs Reckons With $16B In Losses
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）已经搁置了将“侠盗猎车手：圣安地列斯”引入虚拟现实世界的雄心壮志。
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.
发生了什么事：这家Facebook和Instagram的母公司在三年的期待后，“无限期挂起”了这个经典的Rockstar游戏的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提供的一份声明中，Meta的发言人确认了无限期的延迟。Meta Quest VR官方的YouTube账号也回应了这一进展，回复了即将推出的VR游戏Behemoth by Skydance Games的用户评论。
"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."
“侠盗猎车手：圣安地列斯”无限期搁置，我们将同时关注其他项目，”该账号确认。“我们期待与我们在未来的Rockstar公司一起工作。”
Why It Matters: The delay is a significant blow to Meta's virtual reality aspirations.
为什么它很重要：这个延迟是对Meta虚拟现实抱负的重大打击。
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.
该公司最初在2021年10月的Facebook连接活动中宣布了“侠盗猎车手：圣安地列斯”的虚拟现实版本。回想一下这家总部位于加利福尼亚州门洛帕克的企业如何积极追求虚拟现实驱动能力。
The game was described as "a project many years in the making," yet no gameplay footage or release window was ever revealed.
这个游戏被描述为“多年的项目”，但从未透露任何游戏玩法的画面或发布时间。
Meta's VR division, Reality Labs, is reportedly hemorrhaging money, with losses totaling $16 billion in 2023 alone.
报道称，Meta的VR部门Reality Labs在2023年单独亏损了160亿美元。
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.
这些财务困境可能在Meta决定搁置该项目时发挥了作用，因为该公司正在重新评估其在一个快速变化的市场中的优先事项。
