Minecraft for consoles exclusive to Xbox 360, building spring 2012 launch

4.7
Markus "Notch" Persson has confirmed via Twitter that the console version of Minecraft, announced during E3 for Xbox 360, will be exclusive to Microsoft's system (meaning no PSN or WiiWare versions). The game will arrive on Xbox Live in the spring of 2012.

Those heading to MineCon in Las Vegas next month will be able to try out the Xbox 360 version. The PC version is also being completed, having already sold millions in its beta state. Those heading to MineCon will receive alpha codes for Mojang's Scrolls and Cobalt.

Venom199 I think they should give people redeem codes to people who have bought the pc version. They wouldn't make as much money so... that's a bad idea. I am looking forward to minecraft launching on xbox.


actually i think they will make just as much money as loads of people on the xbox bought fortresscraft or the other rip offs as they couldn afford minecraft or be able to run it on their pc, or just the fact they dont have credit cards. but i think people who have bought the pc version should at lease get a discount

xezeal probably a dumb question but is it free?


Not sure if it's been annouced, however, I can't see it being any less than 800 or 1200 MSPs.
the pc version itself is going to be $28 at full release, and i dont think theyll go any lower on the price for the 360 considering its microsoft and pc games versions usually cost $10-$20 less.

Oasis Finally a game worth talking about! I feel bad for the copy cat indie games that will get forgotten about after this comes out...actually no I don't they were crap.


true, but fortresscraft isnt a bad copy. i liked it. the others were terrible
