Grand Theft Animals is a virtual reality open world action-adventure game developed by Squido Studio. In the game, you can live your everyday life in a fictional city inhabited by animals, cause chaos, chase money, rob banks, borrow and destroy vehicles, and get away with it under the noses of the vigilant police. Players can experience these adventures from a first-person perspective with all the elements of virtual reality: the physical impact is actually the player, who performs every single baseball bat swing, hit, and every other movement.
Grand Theft Animals is expected to be available on Meta Quest on 12 June 2025, as part of Early Access.


KEY FEATURES:

  • Bankroll by Any Means: Beat, rob, and loot your way to financial dominance. Your fists are free. Your bail won't be.
  • Buy Questionable Goods: Approach sketchy vendors to buy mystery items with chaotic in-game effects. The results are rarely legal, and never boring.
  • Cops Don’t Play: Cause too much trouble and you'll have flashing lights on your tail. Get caught and you’re going down — tased, jailed, and fined.
  • Rent and Wreck Vehicles: Pick from a growing fleet of rentable rides — from janky sedans to overpowered sports cars. Use them to explore, escape, or absolutely ruin someone's day.
  • Cosmetic Overload: Customize your look in ridiculous ways. From streetwear to surreal costumes, what you wear says nothing about how dangerous you are.
  • Pizza Delivery Missions: Accept jobs from restaurants across the city and race against the clock.
