From CNET: A virtual-reality version of Microsoft's megahit game Minecraft will arrive on Facebook's Oculus VR goggles "in the next few weeks," the company said Thursday.
The game, in which players roam around a blocky 3D world building shelters, manufacturing survival equipment and fending off monsters, is well suited to the immersive Oculus experience. There's a virtual world already on hand, and players used to having a stylized Minecraft body aren't likely to be put off by not being able to see their own real-world bodies.
Minecraft for Oculus could help ensure there are enough interesting things to do to justify the expense of VR headsets and the powerful computers needed to run them.
Microsoft announced the plan as part of an effort to coax people to upgrade to Windows 10, required to run the Oculus version of Minecraft. Windows 10 is a free upgrade through July 30 at 2:59 a.m. PT.
