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.
