Minecraft Xbox One's eight player multiplayer will grow after launch

4.4

According to Microsoft's Roger Carpenter, the game will support eight player multiplayer at launch, but 4J Studios plans to raise the headcount via downloadable updates.

Here's the Tweet in question.
#minecraftxbox1 will be 8 player at release but we will continue working to allow more players in a future update!

Minecraft Xbox One is slated to release in August. There's no word of an exact date, but it sounds like the developers are narrowing it down.

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
#MinecraftXbox1 #MinecraftPS4 #MinecraftPSVita

A Resize World option is also in the works for post-launch, allowing Xbox 360 players to import and expand their existing worlds.

NBC The game always lagged for me with 8 people on 360 I hope that doesn't happen on the One

Speedforce Well it's cool that the characters present is expanding but lag will probably be an issue.

I really hope that you two are right and that the lag is not present within this game.

Hopefully This can support more players for stuff like hunger games etc. But may cause Lag.

I can tell there will be major lag.

Hopefully they haven't limited the breeding off animals on the One, but making the worlds bigger is an awesome addition, can't wait for it to come to the One

More player equals more fun. I just hope people don't lag out more often,

That is because no one can afford the newer consoles. They are so expensive!

If you have any sort of income at all, they aren't that bad.

Especially if you trade in your old games, can cut the price down to a fraction

More players are always awesome to have, but I hope it doesn't lag players out like for example 8 players in a world. :'(
