Minecraft now works with the Oculus Rift

If you need to sell consumers on a new technology, you may as well take advantage one of the biggest names in modern gaming.

Microsoft will release a free update for the beta version of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition today that makes the popular block-building title compatible with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. This could introduce VR to a whole new audience, as Minecraft is one of the most popular games ever. Its fans could become interested in the Oculus Rift if they think it’ll give them a new experience with one of their favorite titles, and this could boost the fledgling VR market. Minecraft has sold over 106 million copies across all of its (many) platforms. Microsoft bought the game and its developer Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion.
