The blog post in the Oculus site read: "Minecraft: Gear VR Edition supports all the features of Pocket Edition, including Creative and Survival modes, skins, and multiplayer. You can choose between the more comfortable default theater view or the more intense and immersive first-person view that lets you stand beside your creations." This has infuriated a lot of Oculus VR hardware users regarding this move. But however, Oculus were quick to confirm that an Oculus Rift version of the game were already under developments. They also mentioned that the game should be out "very soon".
