Minecraft has been available on Xbox Game Pass for Console for quite some time now, and its absence for PC was a bit surprising considering it’s a Microsoft game. Xbox Game Pass for PC will get to play both versions of Minecraft for free via the Minecraft Launcher.
Minecraft for Windows 10 is a separate version of the game built on the new cross-platform “Bedrock” version” that supports cross-play multiplayer via Xbox Live, Virtual Reality, as well as ray-tracing. Starting November 2, the Minecraft Launcher on PC will provide access to both the Java and Bedrock editions of Minecraft for Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers.įor those unfamiliar, Minecraft: Java Edition is the original version of the game that has cross-platform play between Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as support for user-created mods and skins. Minecraft, one of the most popular games of all time is coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC next month.
