Minecraft will be launched on Oculus Rift for Microsoft Windows 10 Beta edition (version 0.15.6) sometime next week as Engadget said. This will give definitely give "Minecraft" fans a whole new experience as they can now experience the game in virtual reality. Playing the game with Oculus rift will be a whole new level of fun for fans of Minecraft.
For gamers who own "Minecraft" on Windows 10 and an Oculus Rift, they can definitely enjoy the game once it is out. They just have to log in to their Mojang account and follow the steps on how to activate it. The version which allows the player to play with the rift will also have the features like the regular one. Common features like multiplayer, Creative and Survival gameplay modes will all be present.
Currently, the Beta version in Windows can be downloaded for free as long as you have "Minecraft" in your PC. This might continue after the release of the version with Oculus Rift. However, it might also be discontinued because Microsoft and Mojang have not discussed this part of the deal yet. "Minecraft" is one of the most played games. PCMag has reported that "Minecraft" has sold over 100 million copies to date. Mojang had sold more than 106,859,714 copies of its game, or roughly 53,000 per day.
