Coming Nov. 2 to Xbox Game Pass for PC: Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions

I couldn't wait for the show to be over before posting this, I wanted to make sure we got the word out right away; if you didn't hear it during Minecraft Live, let me be the first to tell you that Minecraft is coming to Game Pass for PC November 2! And even better, you'll have access together for the first time ever as the Minecraft: PC Bundle includes both the Java and Bedrock Editions!

With cross-play, you can play the floor is actually lava, not pretend lava like we played as kids with your friends in Minecraft, no matter what platform they are on - Windows 10, Windows 11, Consoles, your new fancy wifi-enabled refrigerator (I made that last one up, but it would be really cool if that were true). Quickly switch between the different editions from the unified Minecraft Launcher, faster than you could explain the rules to the fake lava floor game when you were a kid.

I'm super excited to bring this iconic game to Game Pass for PC - there are millions of players in the global Minecraft community, and we are thrilled to soon count the Game Pass PC community among them. Keep your eyes peeled here on the Xbox Wire, and @XboxGamePassPC on Twitter for updates on exactly when you can start playing, and @Minecraft on Twitter for the rest of the news coming from Minecraft Live. Cheers!
