After years of being heavily requested by players, Minecraft is set to finally receive full PlayStation VR support later this month.
A new PlayStation Blog announced the news, but delivered no specifics on when players should expect to get their hands on the new update. The VR support will be delivered through an upcoming patch for Minecraft and available for free to all owners of the base game.
The experience will allow players to play Minecraft through their headset and come equipped with two modes. Immersive mode changes the player’s viewpoint to a first-person view with the world surrounding them in a full 360 degree range, while Living Room mode puts players in a digitally rendered room where the game is presented on a screen in front of them.
Just like the main game, players will use the DualShock 4 to explore the world and complete all the traditional actions such as mining, crafting and building. According to reports, nothing has been removed and the mode retains the full gameplay experience.
The news of the Minecraft getting PlayStation VR support marks the beginning of a week long spotlight on the peripheral.
Announced in another PlayStation Blog post, the company is aiming to highlight numerous upcoming titles for the VR peripheral, including announcements and updates for previously revealed titles. The company has said fans should not to expect any PS5 related news.
