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.

The x1 edition of minecraft is like 4 times the price of the 360 version, i think its a rip off, i mean there not going to be able to increase the graphics by much because of the type of game it is. So the only real difference is like bigger worlds and few things that the 360 version couldnt run.

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.


They took six months to create a 49MB update, they are also late releasing the X1 version. The coding language on the 360 and X1 is the same for a start so why don't you actually find out what you're talking about before embarrassing yourself. Baka.
