‘Minecraft: Xbox One’ Only $5 If You’ve Ever Played Xbox 360 Version

INQ: It’s been known for a while that existing Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition owners will be able to upgrade to the Xbox One and Playstation 4 versions of the game for only $5. There were questions around how that would be enforced though with so many playing the game using retail disks versus downloading it. It turns out you won’t actually have to own the game to upgrade.

awesaome! just happens to be the only version I've played.

When there are no games to play or in between games, you can mess around in Minecraft.

Pogmathoin3518d ago

Yeah, my son has owned my Minecraft for a long time now....

Dudebro903518d ago

So that means i could just log onto my buddies console that has Minecraft, and then I get it for $5?

Queasy3518d ago

You'd have to play it at least once under your account, but yes.

stragomccloud3518d ago

I still think it's just stupid that people even consider playing this on console. You're cut off from the community unless you're PC.

IMO despite fun things like modded servers, the 360 port was better optimized and was a much better experience for just playing with friends. I personally want to be connected more with my friends than the whole Mincraft community

Snookies123518d ago (Edited 3518d ago )

How was the 360 port better optimized? PC gamers can optimize it however they see fit.

I've had Minecraft since the alpha, but I do see the draws of the console version and will probably get it at some point. Split-screen multi-player is an awesome thing to have. I just dislike how limited the console versions are in terms of size. That's my only issue. :\

I'm personally awaiting the Vita version. Having Minecraft on the go with awesome controls. I'll be playing that a lot.

C++ version (x360) runs way better than the java version (pc). imo, they need to go c++ on pc as well, not sure why they havent..

WeAreLegion3518d ago

Why not both? I play on PC, consoles, and my phone.

NovusTerminus3518d ago

And if all your friends are on console? Mine craft is best with friends, and I'd be alone on PC.

LAWSON723518d ago (Edited 3518d ago )

That is awesome, will definitely pick it up now

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name34d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno34d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno34d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure34d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX53d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
