Mojang, the developer of Minecraft, announced in September that the game will end support for PlayStation VR headsets in March 2025. And now it has been officially announced that Minecraft will also no longer support PC VR headsets, including devices such as the Meta Quest, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

The change to VR was revealed in the latest Bedrock change log and discovered by UploadVR.

Mojang states in the changelog: “Support for VR/MR devices is ending and will no longer be supported in updates after March 2025. You can still receive updates on your PC and play without a VR/MR device after receiving the final update.”

The changelog continued with Mojang explaining that after the March update, “you can continue building in your world and continue to use anything you purchased in the marketplace (including Minecoins).” The developers added that the VR version of the game can also be played on “non-VR/MR graphics devices, such as computer monitors.”

UploadVR noted that the VR version of Minecraft is still available if you want to play the game; on a PC using the Java version of Minecraft, you can either download a VR mod like Vivecraft, standalone VR ports like Questcraft.

The PlayStation version came out in 2020 as a free update to the PS4 version of Minecraft, but the PS5 version did not support PSVR2 to begin with.

Mojang dropped VR support, ending nearly a decade of blocky virtual reality, as a VR-compatible version was officially released for the Samsung Gear VR headset in 2016. Subsequently, Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR were supported.

In recent years, Minecraft seems to have tired of augmented and mixed reality versions of Minecraft; in June 2021, Microsoft shut down its augmented reality Minecraft Earth mobile game, which had been something of a rival to Pokemon Go.
