As Sony begins a week of announcements for forthcoming PSVR games (although they stress, lacking any PS5-specific news), the first big reveal is that Minecraft is coming to the console goggles.
First and most importantly, itâs free to anyone who already owns Minecraft. The VR version will be arriving as a patch to the game later this month, although theyâve yet to commit to a firm date.
Second and probably quite importantly, itâs the exact same game, but now with added peripheral vision and accompanying nausea. (Your VR results may vary.)
Mojang say Minecraft VR will be playable in two modes, Immersive and Living Room. And then donât go on to say what that means. (Although itâll likely be this.) They do however state, âI guarantee you will jump out of your skin at some point.â Which is going to lead to one hell of a safety warning on launch.
The Sony Space Glasses⢠version is based on the same VR tech that lets Minecraft be played in surroundvision on PC, having been tweaked and folded by SkyBox Labs and Mojang for the console.
So now youâll finally be able to play Minecraft in its 34,592nd format. Please be careful with your discarded skins.
