With the launch of Microsoft\u2019s new Xbox One X\u00a0<\/a>gamers will now be able to play Minecraft<\/a> across any device.<\/p>\n As part of the company\u2019s big show at E3<\/a>\u00a0Microsoft talked about the latest Minecraft update.<\/p>\n The\u00a0<\/a>\u201cBetter Together Update<\/a>\u201d unifies console, mobile and Windows 10 versions of the game.<\/p>\n The new update also features better graphics and cross-platform support to let Windows 10 and mobile Minecraft players play the game together.<\/p>\n As part of the update, Minecraft is ditching any special branding associated with Minecraft for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, mobile games or VR \u2014 they\u2019ll all just be known as \u201cMinecraft\u201d. There\u2019s a \u2018Minecraft: Java Edition\u2019, which is the original PC game (still supported).<\/p>\n The unified branding is designed to let buyers know they\u2019re all getting the same game, that they can play with anyone no matter what device they\u2019re using, the company said.<\/p>\n Supported devices for unified game play include:<\/p>\n If players own Minecraft for mobile or VR, they\u2019ll get an update for the summer. Minecraft for Xbox One or Nintendo Switch owners will get a new update for free, and the existing worlds that gamers have created are going to be available on the new game.<\/p>\n The new update also means that any downloadable content will be available across all devices. So a pack bought on mobile will also be available on Xbox and Windows 10 editions too.<\/p>\n As an additional added perk, Minecraft is throwing in a server browser to its latest update. Launching with four servers, Lifeboat, Mineplex, InPVP and Cubecraft \u2014 which lets players join public servers that have monthly users numbering in the millions according to the company.<\/p>\n It\u2019s different from\u00a0Minecraft Realms<\/a>, which are privately cloud-hosted servers available for smaller groups.<\/p>\n Finally, there\u2019s a new graphics pack for 4K viewing \u2014 better lighting, shadows, and water effects, the company said.<\/p>\n The pack will be available on Xbox One and Windows 10 (it looks best on the high-performance, high-end consoles, the company said).<\/p>\n The updates are optional\u2026 and folks can always play with the original Minecraft look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/08\/minecraft-vr1.jpg?w=780&h=439\")
