Minecraft Coming To The Xbox One This Friday

The wait is over for Xbox Minecraft fans. Mojang has announced that Minecraft will launch on the Xbox One this Friday for $20. However, if you already own a digital or retail copy of the Xbox 360 version you can upgrade to the Xbox One Edition of Minecraft for just $5. All content players have purchased for the Xbox 360 Edition will be available for download for free.

In the Xbox One Edition of Minecraft players will be able to explore worlds 36 times bigger than the Xbox 360 version. The Xbox One edition will also support four player local cooperative split-screen and eight player online cooperative over Xbox Live.

Minecraft was first announced for the Xbox One during Microsoft's E3 press conference in 2013. Back in March Microsoft's Phil Spencer explained that the game was releasing soon but was pushed back by 4J Studios, the studio responsible for porting the game to the Xbox One. 

Minecraft has been an incredible success for developer Mojang, selling over 54 million copies since June.
