The Windows 10 version of Minecraft will be compatible with the Oculus Rift headset, according to a Microsoft representative that took the stage during the Oculus Connect 2 event.

The event, centered around Oculus’ virtual reality headset, has hosted a handful of video game-related announcements, but the inclusion of Minecraft is fascinating because of the role the game currently serves in Microsoft’s own mixed-reality device. During E3 this year, Microsoft showed a special demonstration of Minecraft for its augmented reality headset, HoloLens. It was without question, a HoloLens’ standout and the closest we’ve seen to a killer app. Bringing Minecraft to Oculus shows Microsoft’s commitment to bringing the blockbuster world-creation title to practically every platform powerful enough to play a video game — not just its own hardware.

Stay tuned for more updates!
