Launching simultaneously with the PlayStation 4 edition of the game, Microsoft have confirmed that Mojang’s hit game Minecraft is now available for the Xbox One. Available digitally at a retail price of $26.95 AUD (Slightly more expensive than the PS4 edition), those who already own the Xbox360 edition can pick up the game for a reduced price of $6.65 AUD.
With worlds up to 36 times larger than on Xbox 360, now there’s an even bigger canvas to create on, transfer your favourite Xbox 360 worlds and content to the Xbox One Edition so you won’t lose your creations. Join a community of 13-million-plus Minecraft fans on Xbox Live that are continually laying down imaginative creations. And, with the widest range of downloadable content on console, you’ll never run out of new worlds to explore with four player split-screen on one console or up to eight players over Xbox Live.
Xbox is about giving players a choice – even in how you buy your game. Starting Friday, players can purchase and download the Minecraft: Xbox One Edition upgrade or full game from the Xbox Store with either a credit card or an Xbox Gift Card purchased at retail. Later this month, select retailers will sell the full game Digital Download Code and the full game packaged disc will be on retail store shelves globally this holiday, just in time for gift giving.
