Oculus Rift Launches in Spring, Will Include Minecraft

 

While details are few and far between at the moment, it has been confirmed that Minecraft will be packaged with the Oculus Rift - a virtual reality headset currently in development - when the headset hits the market in Spring of 2016.

 

The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display developed by Oculus VR. It was initially proposed in a Kickstarter campaign, during which Oculus VR - at the time, an independent company - raised $2.5million for the development of the product. Largely praised by players who have had the chance to test it, Oculus kicked off a surge of interest in VR gaming across the industry, with many competitors vying for a spot in this largely untapped world of gaming.

 

The Rift's price is expected to be "at least $300 (USD)", according to VP of Product Nate Mitchell.
