Microsoft-owned developer Mojang has released a version of its hit sandbox game Minecraft for the Samsung Gear VR headset. The game is now available to download from the headset’s version of the Oculus Store.
Mojang states:
It has all the features of Pocket Edition, costs the same and has cross-platform play with regular Pocket and Windows 10 editions. If you have the Samsung S6 or the snazzy new S7, the screen resolution is pretty fabulous – so you won’t be easily distracted by the pixels. Older phone models might not run the game quite as well in true stereo or with as high a draw distance, but it’s always amazing to plug yourself into the world of Minecraft without any cables tethering you to a PC. Just make sure you don’t tread on the cat!
An Oculus Rift version of Minecraft is slated for release later this year.
