The decision has been made that Minecraft is no longer officially available on virtual and mixed reality platforms. This change was officially confirmed in the latest update for the game’s Bedrock edition, following an announcement from developer Mojang back in October. The patch notes from the fall indicated that these platforms would be removed in March, giving players who enjoy VR a few extra weeks to enjoy their blocky worlds.
Removing entire platforms is not a decision that game developers take lightly. With Minecraft still boasting a large player base at any given time, it is clear that Mojang would not have made this move unless it was deemed necessary and would not seriously disrupt the gaming experience for its fans. While there are still many other critically acclaimed games available for VR, such as Beat Saber, the absence of a major title like Minecraft from these platforms is definitely disappointing.
