The best thing about this addition is that it includes both versions of Minecraft, its popular Java version, and its cross-platform compatible Bedrock edition. This addition brings to Xbox Game Pass a hugely popular Microsoft title that was previously missing from PC's version of Xbox Game Pass, adding additional value to the service. It also supports controllers for movement or touch controls on mobile.At Minecraft Live, Mojang announced that Minecraft's Java and Bedrock Editions would be coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC, arriving on November 2nd. The Bedrock Edition is also said to run smoother than the Java Edition as it does not require powerful computers or devices. Unlike Java, which allows you to download skins from online, the Bedrock version relies on the Marketplace where you have to purchase add-ons or skin packs. That being said, the Bedrock Edition is the one you’ll want if you want to take advantage of cross-play with PC, console and mobile. Again, the only drawback is you can’t play with people on other platforms so if all of you don’t mind playing on PC, Java Edition could be the way to go. However, it’s much more flexible in terms of gameplay as you can download any skin online or even make your own to use and you have access to all of the community-made mods, meaning nearly endless gameplay experiences. If you’re confused, the Java Edition is PC only, meaning no cross-play with console. There are now multiple game modes, customization that makes nearly anything possible, and multiplayer support.īoth the Java and Bedrock Editions of Minecraft will be available on Xbox Game Pass.


Minecraft has come a long way since its inception as a simple sandbox exploration game. There’s a reason it’s the best-selling video game of all time. Now Minecraft has been available for what seems like forever, but if for some reason you’ve managed to avoid it, you have no excuse now. In addition to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition coming to Game Pass next month, subscribers can also look forward to Minecraft on PC. Xbox Game Pass, the subscription service that keeps on giving.
