Mojang has announced the discontinuation of VR support for Minecraft, with plans to cease support by March 2025 and a suspension of VR functionality that occurred in May. The transition away from VR has received mixed reactions, as the experience was often described as temperamental and underwhelming. Alternatives like Vivecraft, a fan-supported mod, allow players to enjoy Minecraft in VR on PCs, but come with challenges such as requiring additional setup and coordination among friends. The decision to discontinue support likely stems from Minecraft's evolving nature, which complicates development and leads to the obsolescence of older versions.

Valve has introduced new APIs for Steamworks, including GetCurrentBetaName, GetNumBetas, GetBetaInfo, and SetActiveBeta, to simplify switching between game versions. Players can now change branches directly from the game's page on Steam, improving accessibility. These tools are particularly beneficial for games that receive frequent updates, allowing players to easily choose between beta testing new features or reverting to stable older builds. Many Steam titles already offer multiple build branches, but accessing them has been cumbersome; the new APIs aim to enhance visibility and ease of use.
