If you are one of the many who play Minecraft, or other spin-offs such as Minecraft Earth , there is excellent news for you since something that has long been known to be a reality has just been announced, and that is most striking for users: the version compatible with virtual reality. And, more specifically, with the Samsung Gear VR glasses, a new application for Minecfraft .
As announced at the Microsoft GDC 2016 event, held in San Francisco – and John Carmack himself commented a year ago – the well-known game Minecraft gets the version compatible with VR. And, more specifically, they can be obtained through Oculus itself, the company that has collaborated with Samsung to create the glasses that we have discussed.
The fact is that if you have one of the company’s virtual reality glasses and a compatible terminal (the entire Galaxy S7, Galaxy S6 and Note 5 range are from the game), you can enjoy the new Minecraft: Gear VR Edition. By the way, the features offered by this version of the well-known game are the same as those that can be found in the so-called Pocket Edition , which is the one for mobile devices.
The bet on virtual reality continues
The arrival of this version of Minecraft, which has a price of seven dollars (about 6.5 euros to change), shows that companies have one of their main focuses of market development in the VR segment, so this time It does not seem that what has happened in the past with virtual reality, which finally came to nothing.
In the new version of the well-known game that freedom has its great attraction, it is possible to carry out all kinds of creation and exploration actions. In addition, it has been indicated that it will make two views available: first person and the type “theater” which is the one that arrives activated by default. In addition, to be able to play it will be necessary to use an external controller with wireless connectivity (Bluetooth) since the complexity of the game makes this necessary to perform the many actions available and it does not lack its multiplayer version.
In short, an official announcement by Oculus – we remember that the development is in your store – that surely makes more than one Minecraft follower consider getting the combination of Samsung’s terminal and Gear VR glasses.
