In the last month, at GDC 2016 in San Francisco, we learned about Microsoft's plans for releasing Minecraft for Gear VR. Still, details such as pricing and availability were not known at the time. EXTREMECRAFT Oculus announced today that the game with an open world is now available on Samsung’s virtual reality headset. Officially called Minecraft: Gear VR Edition, the game is said to include the same features of the Pocket Edition, including its creative, survival and multiplayer modes, as well as the character skins your are used to.
In addition to that, Minecraft: Gear VR Edition lets you choose between a first-person and a theater view (which is the default) according to how ferocious you feel before you decide to start building and exploring in virtual reality. Oculus CTO John Carmack, who last year made it clear that this version was in the works, said in a blog post "My most vivid memories of being inside VR are from the time I've spent exploring Minecraft on Gear VR. Experiencing it in virtual reality transforms it from a purely abstract experience to a physical one."
If you own an Oculus Gear VR, Minecraft can be yours from the Oculus Store for $7.
