Minecraft on Xbox One 'really close'

4.8
Mojang said to be "excited about the quality" of the next-gen version

The Xbox One version of Minecraft will launch soon, according to Microsoft Game Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer.

Announced at E3 in June 2013, the Xbox One edition will build off the multi-million selling Xbox 360 version with "larger maps for more complex structures, expanded multiplayer features and enhanced gameplay".

Xbox executive Spencer told IGN at GDC last week: "I talked to [4J Studios] last night. They feel really good about the progress that they're making. It's their game, and it'd be Mojang's game. We graciously host it on our platform.

"They control the [release] date of that, but I'll tell people that we're getting really close. I talked with Notch [aka Mojang founder Markus Persson] last night, and they're really excited about the quality."

In December 2013, Minecraft creator Persson said the Xbox 360 edition of the game had sold around ten million copies.

Minecraft is also currently in development for PS4 and Vita, while a proposed Oculus Rift version was scrapped earlier this week.

Activated I can't wait till MineCraft is released on Xbox One, it will be so good


It will be the same as the Xbox360.

I don't see the average server for the one version having more than 50 people. That's why it wouldn't be as fun because there would most likely be some kind of ridiculous limit on players per server.

Yop I remember when i could play minrcraft for hours on both Xbox and PC. Now i can only play like 30 minutes and im bored.


Yeah I feel the same way. Its pretty boring now


I used to play for 8 hours straight and would still not be bored, but now it's just not as fun as it used to be. Probably from all of the Rust and DayZ type games that came out. Also, I already own Minecraft on XBOX 360, PC, and IOS, so if 4J Studios is greedy and wants to charge everyone who already owns on 360 again I won't buy it.

Kanashimi It's about time 4J got their act together.


What are you even talking about? They just made PS3 mc, then put out tu14 which is a major update on both consoles, now they are focusing on X1. IF you think it's so easy, you go code the game for X1.
