Minecraft Now Available on Game Pass

Minecraft is now available in Xbox Game Passon PC. Subscribers can download the game in two versions - Java Edition and Bedrock Edition - which make up the Minecraft PC Bundle. The subscription itself can now be purchased for $1 for three months.

Minecraft was officially made available as part of the Xbox Game Pass service. However, many people are reporting issues - such as the "unable to update native launcher" message. It remains to be seen if Microsoft will make it possible to download and launch the game properly.

As announced at the Minecraft Live 2021 event, Minecraft made its way to the Xbox Game Pass service on PC today (and thus to XGP Ultimate). The subscription includes the Minecraft PC Bundle, which consists of two versions of the game, namely Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.

It's hard to predict how long the title will remain available, but one can hope that its presence in it will be long enough for fans to check both the novelties that will be introduced by the Caves and Cliffs Part 2 update, as well as the changes planned for Minecraft version 1.19, titled The Wild and scheduled for 2022. More information on both updates can be found here.

We remind you that Xbox Game Pass PC subscription service can now be purchased for three months for only $1. As part of the subscription you will also be able to check out games such as Age of Empires 4, Forza Horizon 5 or - from December 8 - Halo Infinite.

It is also worth adding that Minecraft PC Bundle is available for purchase on Microsoft Store. If you own any version of the game - Java or Bedrock - you will receive the second version as a gift.
