Minecraft Xbox One to be released August 2014

4.2
It has recently been confirmed that Minecraft Xbox One, will be coming August 2014. This was announced via twitter from Mojang & 4j studios, you'll also be able to upgrade to the next gen versions for a price of $4.99 if you currently own Minecraft digital version or have played online via disc version.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Xbox 360 Edition.
It will include all the features from the most recent Xbox 360 title update.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will cost $19.99.
If you've bought Minecraft
aft: Xbox 360 Edition from Xbox Live Marketplace, or played online with the disc version, you will be able to upgrade to Xbox One Edition for $4.99.
You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date.

Players with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Xbox One. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer saves from Xbox One to Xbox 360. We can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems.
Cross platform play will not be possible between Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Xbox 360 Edition will be available for use in Xbox One Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer, but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon.

Minecraft is always going to go down as a classic and it must look just gorgeous on the new console's graphics :)

All the graphics on the XB1 are better than the 360. Anyone can tell the difference.
