Minecraft It’s one of those games that Microsoft took over and from the moment it took control, decided not to limit it to just Xbox consoles, allowing it to reach any other imaginable platform from Sony, Nintendo, Apple or Google. Well, soon it will be increased with new members in the family.
This game is, without a doubt, a powerful argument for those who have always accused Phil Spencer’s of wanting to bring together studios and companies to keep them for themselves. In general, this has not been the case and if things begin to change, it will surely be due to how the competition behaves, which owes all its success to a gaming policy only for PlayStation that does not come from now, but from the times of the first PS One.
Minecraft will be released on more consoles
Thus, it seems that Mojang -creators of Minecraft– has decided to take the step that was missing in the current generation, such as landing on the new Xbox Series X | S nativelywith a game that only run for them and squeeze all the hardware potential of those two consoles. So, at least, it seems, after appearing the title listed in the North American rating agency (the famous ESRB).
This would mean that the users of these Xbox Series X | S can now forget about the old Minecraft Xbox One which was, until today and thanks to the backward compatibility of the ecosystem, the only playable one. In this way, with the new version in the offing, users who still have the machine that was launched in 2013 will have to move to the next generation or settle for the old release that, we already warned you, on paper will be practically identical except for the graphics and performance section, which will optimize it to support the technical potential of the next-gen from Microsoft.
Remember that the current version of Minecraft Within the Xbox ecosystem it dates from October 2014, so it does not seem that the company wanted to rush too much to recondition the classic, seen the success they already had with that launch old-gen. So yes, we might consider it a surprise that it’s coming back to Microsoft, given that the 2014 edition was running smoothly on newer Microsoft machines.
When will Minecraft come to XSX?
The information about this Minecraft for Xbox Series X | S they do not specifically talk about the moment in which it will go on sale, but sources confirm that it will be soon. That is why we can expect it to hit stores during the last months of the year, which are usually the ones that contribute the most novelties to the market as a whole. You just have to see what we have planned for October so that our pocket is terrified by so many titles (spider-man 2, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Forza Motorsport…).
remember that Minecraft is a game that Originally released in 2011 for PC (where it is still very much alive) and was owned by Mojang until the company was later acquired by Microsoft. From that moment on, its success was unstoppable and it got versions for every living console/device: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, New Nintendo 3DS, iOS and Android.
