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.

PyroJoe hopefully servers will work like pc, hundreds of players with plugins and stuff, doubt it tho.

I run a successful Minecraft server on the PC version, I also play in the XBLA Version. I can't see 4J Studious allowing more than 32 on a world.

One thing I hope they do is allow them to act as "servers" instead of worlds. Let players pay money to keep the server up 24/7 and allow whoever wants to join to do so, almost like Battlefield's Private servers.

Hopefully we will be able to keep servers up 24/7 but that might mean we will have to pay for servers that stay up 24/7

Lyons-Tea This will be amazing for mini games

mini games would be so fun if it doesn't lag with a full server cant wait for this to be released

I hope they put some sort of mods on for it as addons
i would like the tekkit version to be a dlc or something because it looks cool and there are more things to build on it

I will just be glad when they give a actual release date not just a month

It sucks that at launch, there is the 8 player limit. But it's great to see that the number is gonna increase, after launch.

This sis good that they're doing this. I would be kinda upset if they kept it at 8 players.
