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.

I think you can get 8 people in Xbox 360 but it would be cool if you could make a server like on PC and you don't need to be in it for it too be online

JRMH I wonder if they'll make it a DLC, like the customization packs. Probably up to it to 12, and make you pay for more players in segments of 4/8.

Mojang isn't a greedy company but idk


I don't think they'll make you pay for more players.
That seems a little to excessive.


it says in a future update so i dont think they will make you pay to get it

its a shame that it will only be 8 player at launch but it think it will be much better when they update it.

BPMPosted:

Not long now until release :D I can't wait. I never have more than 4 players in the one world so this won't bother me

MagnaFlowPosted:

Well pointless for me to buy it now. Guess I am waiting for more player support. This was one of the only reasons I planned to buy it on the one. :P
