Minecraft released for iOS, preparing for Xbox release

Mojang released Minecraft for Apple products this weekend, and they announced that Minecraft will be available for Xbox Arcade in spring 2012.

Minecraft - Pocket Edition for Apple devices jumped to second most grossing app as soon as it was released and later rose to be most grossing app.

The Apple version of Minecraft is similar to the version for Android devices. The controls are the same, but it only supports local multiplayer over Wifi.

The game costs $6.99 and allows for creative building with 36 different blocks. It works for any apple phone or device, including iPads.

Not much has been said yet for Minecraft on the xbox, but Mojang did release a trailer for it. The link to the trailer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfYuY3sv1Ro&feature=player_embedded

  1. I really thought I would buy it right away, but then realized it's "creative" mode -- no mobs, no fun. Granted, the game is all about building houses and stuff, but the mobs are providing a nice (and sometimes quite annoying :-D ) challenge.

    Maybe if we could move worlds between the PC app and the phone app...
