Microsoft and Mojang have made good on the promise from E3 2017 that Minecraft would become a cross-platform gaming experience. With the “Better Together” update, players from mobile, Xbox One, and Windows 10 platforms can all play together. It should also be noted that while the Nintendo Switch version is still in development (with a “soon” release date at best) it will be cross-platform compatible upon its release.
Some good news for all the Minecraft: Wii U Edition players out there. Your world progress will not be lost should you decided to go over to the Nintendo Switch and the appropriate Minecraft edition there. The next update that arrives for both consoles will allow you to import your world/save from one version to the other.
I'm hip. I know what's down with the kids. So I know loads about something called Adventure Time; it appears to be a cartoon about a hat wearing boy and his dog? What I do know is that a new Adventure Time DLC pack is coming to console and Windows 10 versions of Minecraft.
As a lover of co-op gaming I reckon that most of you will already have a Xbox Live Gold account to allow you to play online, but if you don't, this weekend you will still have free access online. This means that you can play any of your games online, plus you can try out Minecraft: Xbox One Edition until 21st May.
The Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft got a big update earlier this week that brings the version number up to 1.0; though it's still in beta, apparently. Anyways, along with that update, there's some "Festive Mash-Up" DLC available to purchase so you can deck the halls and all that jazz. The console versions aren't being left out of the DLC fun as they just got the "Fallout Mash-Up" DLC.
Minecraft players on all consoles will get some new content next week with a free update and some paid DLC, the Chinese Mythology Mash-Up Pack. The latter will add a pre-made world with plenty of temples, monasteries, dragons, and more to discover, while the free update will add some requested content based on the Arctic biome.
