Minecraft takes the plunge into Virtual Reality with the Gear VR

Minecraft has finally arrived on the Samsung Gear VR. Its the company's first tryst with Virtual Reality and the game is now available for download from the Oculus Store available for Gear VR users.

The Pocket Edition of Minecraft costs the same as the regular editions on Windows 10. Mojang is also set to bring Minecraft to Oculus Rift later this year.

Mojang had this to say on the launch of Minecraft on Gear VR:

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!
