It's not exclusive to PC, but rather will work on any device running the Windows 10 operating system, which will include PCs and tablets. Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition definitely sounds like a more definitive Minecraft experience than the one currently offered on PC. With 20 million units sold on PC, Microsoft is hoping that this free upgrade will convince a larger chunk of that player base to Windows 10, and serves as a sort of one-two punch to go along with the free Windows 10 upgrade Microsoft is offering to Windows 7 and 8 users. However, they are offering a free upgrade to the Windows 10 Edition to any users that already own the PC version.
Microsoft has stressed that the Windows 10 version of Minecraft will not replace the existing PC version of the game. For new users, the game will be available at a discounted price of $10 for a limited time. Minecraft is available on more platforms than virtually any other game in recent memory despite the Microsoft buyout, and now yet another version of the game has been announced, in the form of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition.Īnnounced as a part of this year's MineCon event, Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition is set to launch alongside Windows 10 itself on July 29th, albeit in beta form. Since then, Microsoft has helped Mojang to continue supporting Minecraft across a wide variety of platforms, including their competitors on PlayStation. Microsoft realized the franchise's potential about a year ago, and purchased the IP as well as developer Mojang for $2.5 billion. The Minecraft craze shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
