Minecraft on the Xbox One gets a release date [uPDATE]

 

 

The very popular game Minecraft has finally gotten a release date for the Xbox One.

 

The game will be available for download on the Xbox One starting the 5th of September at a price of €19,99. Players who already own the game on the Xbox 360 can choose to upgrade their current game for the price of €4,99. If you rather want to get the game through a retailer you will have to wait untill somewhere near the end of the month when retailers start sell download codes. You can get the discount by showing them your Xbox 360 Minecraft disc.

 

This upgraded Xbox One version will make your world up to 36 times bigger than the Xbox 360 version. Unlike the Xbox 360 version you will start off with the latest updates immediatly. Even downloadable content you purchased on the Xbox 360 will carry over to your Xbox One.

You can either play with 3 other friends through split-screen or up to 7 others over Xbox Live.

 

Owners of the Playstation 4 can play Minecraft starting today! (3rd of Sept)

 

Both versions were due to release this August but encountered some delay which has caused it to release this week.

 

UPDATE:

So... Apparently the Minecraft Xbox One edition has come to the Xbox Store a day early. Only problem is that it's listed as 114,99 pounds...

 

 

This is surely an error, but there's still the option to press 'Purchase now'. Nobody has been stupid enough to go through with it... Yet.

 

Will you be getting Minecraft for the Xbox One or Playstation 4, and will you make use of your discount?

Let us know down below!

Thank you for reading!
