The game costs $19.99 US (or $4.99 US if you already own the Xbox 360 version), weighs in at 553.09 MB, and supports any and all Minecraft downloadable content you may have bought for Xbox 360. It's possible to transfer an Xbox 360 world to the new gen version but not vice versa - worlds can be up to 36 times larger on Xbox One, you see, which is too much geography for its elderly predecessor to process.

The game will be sold in stores as a download code later this month, with a disc-based offering to follow this winter. Read our interview with Mojang for details of DLC plans and platform differences. Newcomers may also wish to peruse this comprehensive guide to the Xbox 360 version - bigger worlds and 1080p visuals aside, the two versions are identical.
