Minecraft is now available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, including Java and Bedrock Editions.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will soon get the chance to experience Minecraft's Bedrock and Java editions on PC. This means that players will be able to download and play the game on platforms that support Java as well as those that do not.
Known as one of the best-selling games of all time, Minecraft has certainly had a storied history, cultivating dedicated fanbases both on PC and on consoles. The game first launched on Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux back in 2011 and has been a phenomenon ever since. Minecraft made its way onto consoles and mobile devices not long after, further increasing its massive player base. Players in Minecraft are given a multitude of different tools to survive against enemies and to exercise their creativity, allowing for ingenious creations like an impressive Minecraft map room with a glass floor. While the game was initially coded in Java, it has since been redesigned with the general-purpose programming language C++, making it playable on different platforms.

The update covered a great deal of new content and DLC packs that are getting added to the game, and also announced that both the Java and Bedrock editions would become accessible through the popular subscription service.
