(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Xbox One version of Minecraft launches on Friday, September 5 and will cost $20 (£16) to download, Microsoft has announced.


Set to cost $19.99, the company has announced anyone who owns the digital or retail versions of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will be able to upgrade to the new game for $4.99.

Also all of your favorite features from “Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition” and the option to import your saved game data and your beautiful, one-of-a-kind “Minecraft” world onto your Xbox One. That’s right: You don’t have to start from scratch. You can just keep going, right where you left off! That goes for most (but not all) of your downloadable skins and texture packs, though not all of them will make the jump.

However, the Minecraft PS4 release date remains unclear. In August, the studio porting the game to PlayStation 4, 4J Studios, said the build had failed Sony's certification test.
