Following the Better Together Update, it is no longer named Gear VR Edition.

As of 1.16.40, Minecraft for Gear VR has not received new feature updates, such as Caves & Cliffs (1.17 & 1.18), the Wild Update, Trails & Tales, etcetera, and has been discontinued ever since.<ref>Template:Cite</ref>

The most recent feature update for Minecraft on Gear VR devices is the Nether Update.

Development

The idea of Minecraft for Gear VR devices first started in 2014 with John Carmack, who at the time was the CTO of Oculus. He tweeted the following, 7 months after Notch initially recused Oculus:<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

In 2015, John Carmack announced that Oculus Rift support would come to Windows 10 Edition the following year, but has said that a Gear VR edition is on the way and is essentially being ported from Minecraft:Pocket Edition:

"

@Kithop @_tomcc it isn't Win 10 only, it is also GearVR, which the java code was never going to run effectively on. Not Mac/Linux, true.

Minecraft: Gear VR Edition was then confirmed to be released in spring.<ref>Template:Cite</ref><ref>Template:Cite</ref>
