I’m trying to contain my hype and not type in all capital letters but imagine me writing announcement this very loudly with pure excitement with each game coming soon. 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.We’re continuing the trend of bringing back-to-back blockbuster games to Xbox Game Pass and I’m absolutely here for it. 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. Minecraft made its way onto consoles and mobile devices not long after, further increasing its massive player base. The game first launched on Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux back in 2011 and has been a phenomenon ever since. 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.

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. Xbox Game Passsubscribers will soon get the chance to experience Minecraft's Bedrock and Java editions on PC.
