'Minecraft' Arrives On Samsung's Gear VR Headset

In the last month, at GDC 2016 in San Francisco, we learned about Microsoft's plans to release Minecraft for Gear VR. However, details like pricing and availability were unconfirmed at the time. However, that's changed today: Oculus has announced that the open-world hit 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 multiplayer, survival and creative modes, as well as the character skins your are familiar with.

In addition to that, Minecraft: Gear VR Edition allows you to choose between a first-person and a theater view (which is the default) depending on the intensity you feel as you prepare to build and explore in virtual reality. Oculus CTO John Carmack, who last year announced that the version was being developed in a blog post "My strongest memories of being in VR are from the time I've spent playing Minecraft on Gear VR. It becomes a visceral activity when it is experienced in virtual reality.

If you own an Oculus Gear VR, Minecraft can be yours from the Oculus Store for $7.
