Is there a VR Minecraft available on any platform?

Yes, VR Minecraft is on the original PSVR. Not sure if it works on PSVR2 though. I really want VR2, but I’m waiting on a price drop and to see what other games Sony has in the pipeline first.

Is there a VR Minecraft available on any platform?

Aside from PSVR 1, Minecraft VR is available on PC for Oculus and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. (officially but there's software to get it running on other headsets.) There's also VR mods for Minecraft Java that many prefer over the official Minecraft VR.

Some guys also made an unofficial native Minecraft port for the Quest 2 available via sideloading, but it's nowhere near as good as it is on PC since it's unofficial.

PlayStation VR 2 Is Apparently Selling Really Badly - Report

New reports claim that Sony will miss its ambitious PlayStation VR 2 sales goal by a significant margin.

www.gamespot.com

• $550
• Requires a $500 PS5
• Can't be used on PC
• Wired cable
• Lackluster launch library
• No backwards compatibility with PSVR 1

Is it any wonder it's selling badly? Bare minimum add PC functionality and that price tag is a much easier pill to swallow. So many people would buy it immediately to use it on PC over a Quest 2

Sony halts PSVR2 production because sales are really bad. This is no surprise to me.

I was really excited for the PSVR 2 launch, hoping the better hardware would lead to bigger and better games, but it's been 2 years? and there's no sign of a big first party triple A game, just more 'Resident Evil' VR and such. That's why no one is buying. VR has GREAT potential, but no one is really taking advantage of it.

I bought the first PSVR and returned it. I'm sitting this one out, until they give me a good reason to invest.

I agree, the tech is awesome. Do something with it!

I'd have a real use case for it already with GT7 but so far this single title wasn't enough for me to shell out for PSVR2.

Will pick it up though as soon as they release the PC driver/integration (was announced a few weeks ago) and when it's clear that it can be used well with e.g. Unreal Engine for development.

For the future I'd like to see a proper Ace Combat game that is fully playable in PSVR2.

I'm surprised Sony is officially doing this.

Same, but at least it's a nice surprise. I guess it won't cost them much more than a developer or two in a corner office supporting this for a while.

Perhaps the intent is to enable ports of PSVR2 titles to PC?

Biggest problem with the PSVR2 is that the Sony studios seem to have forgotten it exists. On launch we got the Horizon game which was cool to start with, but since then there have been no decent releases at all. Thank god that Capcom releases their Resident Evil games for it and that some developers bother to make a PSVR2 version of their pc VR game.

Shame is that Sony owns so many 'brands' that they could make insanely awesome games. Imagine The Last of Us in VR? God of War? Uncharted? Spider-Man? Ghost of Tsushima?

They all have the potential to be mind-blowingly good... But here we are, with a PSVR2 that they seem to have forgotten about... And then wonder why the sales are bad... Sigh.
