There’s no real VR version of Minecraft for them to leave be or for people to lose access to. VR is just a feature built into the Bedrock Edition that’s activated by launching the game through a headset.

Unless you count the Samsung Gear VR version. That one’s been left alone ever since the Gear VR fell into obsolescence and can still be played in its unsupported state on an unsupported headset.

Since Better Together, that is the VR version, just like Bedrock on iOS is the iOS version.

No it’s not like that. Unlike Minecraft Bedrock on PC, XBOX, PS, Switch, iOS, or Android, there’s no VR specific Minecraft version that can be installed. If you have Minecraft on PS4 or PC, VR support is already built in.

For example, Skyrim and Skyrim VR are separate games, but Minecraft isn’t. They can’t just leave the VR version alone because there is no VR-only version and the only thing that determines whether you’re playing in 2D or VR is a flag that’s set on launch.

Edit: Again, discounting the Gear VR version here because they dropped support for it long before Better Together happened and it can only be played on the Gear VR which was basically Google Cardboard.

I don’t see how that’s a difference. They all use the same codebase, so either none of these platform editions exist or all of them exist.
