Minecraft to End Virtual Reality Support by March 2025

Mojang announces the discontinuation of VR compatibility for Minecraft across all platforms, affecting devices like Oculus Rift and PS VR.

  • Minecraft's VR support will officially cease after the final update in March 2025, affecting devices such as Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, and Meta Quest.
  • The decision follows an earlier announcement ending support for PlayStation VR headsets, marking a complete withdrawal from virtual reality integration.
  • Players can continue to enjoy Minecraft on non-VR devices, maintaining access to their worlds and Marketplace purchases.
  • Minecraft enthusiasts can still experience the game in VR through unofficial mods like Vivecraft for Java Edition and QuestCraft for Quest headsets.
  • The move is seen as a setback for VR gaming, given Minecraft's popularity and its potential impact on the broader VR ecosystem.
