Minecraft Oculus Rift Support Coming In The Next Few Weeks
It’s the one-year anniversary of Minecraft on Windows 10, and the Mojang team is celebrating. Today marks the release of a new Villains skin pack and a roller coaster map, but a bigger update is on the way soon.
Minecraft is coming to Oculus Rift at long last in the next few weeks. We’ve known the game would support the Rift since Oculus Connect 2 in September 2015. It launched on Gear VR in April.
Those that own the more fully featured, PC-powered headset won’t need to pay for the update when it arrives. It’ll be delivered entirely free.
Later, Minecraft on Windows 10 will support simple modifications of creature behavior via editing simple text JSON files. We saw the feature in action at E3 with amusing results, including speedy creepers, exploding chickens, and aggressive sheep.
Minecraft on Windows 10 is still in beta, and receiving regular updates. For more recent additions, check out our previous coverage.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
