In a post on the official PlayStation blog, Mojang Studios’ executive producer for Minecraft Roger Carpenter revealed that PlayStation VR support for the 11-year-old game has been in the works since Sony approved cross-platform play and the Bedrock version for the PlayStation 4.

“It is 100% the same Minecraft game that you can play every day, every week, every month, every year…on PlayStation 4. Nothing removed. 100% wholesome & pure full-fat Minecraft,” Carpenter wrote.

All Minecraft players on the PlayStation 4 will receive the patch to add PlayStation VR support, which will still utilize the DualShock 4 controller while also introducing several settings to tweak the experience. There will also be two ways to play Minecraft on PlayStation VR, namely the Immersive and Living Room modes.

Immersive mode is the traditional VR experience where players will be able to move around the world of Minecraft, while Living Room mode will allow players to play on a virtual screen in a virtual room, according to IGN.

Carpenter also provided a glimpse of Minecraft on PlayStation VR through his Twitter account.

PlayStation VR spotlight

The Minecraft announcement is part of this week’s PlayStation VR spotlight, which will showcase upcoming PS VR games and reveal updates for previously revealed PS VR titles.

Also part of the spotlight is a PS VR sale that will launch on the PS Store on September 9, which will include games such as Borderlands 2 VR, Superhot VR, and Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. The promotion will run until September 23.

Sony, however, clarified that PlayStation VR spotlight will not feature news related to the PlayStation 5.

There's nothing better than an extended weekend to treat yourself to some guilt-free gaming time. Memorial Day means a ton of us get a whole extra day to chill out and explore the best games on PlayStation Plus, which just so happen to have added a huge chunk of titles. We've got multiple dangerous open world games, RPGs, and more to pick from, making this one of the hardest weeks I've had in narrowing down my recommendations to just three. That's a great problem to have and only means you will easily find a game that clicks with you. Even though we've got a three-day weekend, there's no time to waste, so here are the three best new PlayStation Plus games you need to be playing.

The middle of the month is always a bit of an awkward spot when it comes to PlayStation Plus games. Plenty of us will be ripping through Doom: The Dark Ages this weekend, but that kind of gory, heavy metal FPS game isn't for everyone. There's also the sad news we got a few weeks ago about Lost Soul Aside being delayed out of this month, leaving a big hole for us PlayStation gamers. Not to worry, though, because I haven't forgotten my duty of finding the best games in the PlayStation Plus catalogue to make sure you have something amazing to play each and every weekend. For this weekend, I've found an alternative FPS, an overlooked open world adventure, and a more cozy experience. Let's check them out.
