Minecraft is dropping VR support next year
Minecraft will no longer work in PC VR and PlayStation VR headsets after a 'final update' in March 2025.
Honestly, Im really suprised official support lasted this long. Microsoft largely gave up on VR years ago.
that hype train was fun though. The standard microsoft loop.
- They build a crappy version
- Put no actual investment in it
- Drop the idea
- Someone else comes along, makes a version that's great, and microsoft gets jealous
- Microsoft throws 1000% of their resources behind the technology which they are now behind in
- They cram the product down everyone's throats, not realizing how much they're annoying their base
- Realizing defeat, they quietly kill off the product and act like it never happened.
Windows Tiles, Windows Phone, Zune, Tablets, AI, take your pick
I wish Windows Phone had stayed. More competition in the mobile space is good, and they had some functioning ideas. Eventually they gave up and turned into a pale Apple imitator before giving up.
Didnt even know it has support. But I also dont have VR so I never bothered looking it up.
I'd be sad if it wasn't for the fact that 3rd party methods of playing MC in VR are actually better than the official method. Though this does suck for those with PSVR and not PCVR (though, can't it do that now?)
"drop" is an autoantonym.
Will VR be introduced as a new feature next year, or is it already a feature that will be abandoned next year?
there has been a vr version that is aparently no longer supported
Well that's a shame
Vivecraft is on Modrinth as well
I’m in the middle of moving so all my VR stuff is packed in storage. Sadly, I may never get to try it.
Java VR is way nicer than what Microsoft had. Their MS implementation always left me nauseous and I’d never had a problem with that in VR before
Never knew it did support it. I've always used mods like vivecraft to do it
I find this hilarious because you can currently buy a Minecraft themed charging brick and/or cord and get a code for a cosmetic VR headset for bedrock edition inside the packaging. 🙃
Good. If they are going to continue to develop the game they need to lose parity as an excuse to do the bare minimum.
Hope they won't drop support for RTX; it hasn't been updated since release...
