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.

CurseTv Cant wait for minecraft on the xbox one hopefully there updates is evenly with the Pc


I think it will, if not then it will never be as good as pc because of the lack of content. I would also like to see mod support in the future for either PS4 and Xbox One.

Third_Eye Minecraft on PS Vita sounds like it would be the funnest out of them all. Like the mobile version(s), but with real buttons and probably using the full game.

Axe If you bought the game for the 360, will you have to re-purchase it again for the Xbox One? If so, then im not really interested in spending another 30$ or so on the same game.


Agreed. I would like to know as well.


Well someones has to pay for the development of the new version of the game. Sure they have a lot of money but there where is their motivation to continue to develop the game if no one pays for the upcoming release?

Hopefully the Xbox one version will be closer to the PC version than the other versions. I would really like to see PC account linking.

Too bad they scrapped the Oculus Rift version, that would have been interesting.
