The 'Minecraft Earth' Beta Begins its Global Takeover This Month
It's been about two months since we first heard about Minecraft Earth, the augmented real-world version of the game that gives the real world a playscape full of your blocky creations. The company had promised that an early version of the game would be out this summer. The game is now available, and with a new trailer of the game, the company says it will launch on iOS within the next two weeks. Android will follow "soon following that."
The launch on the iPhone isn't too surprising after we got our first peek at live gameplay during WWDC last month. The trailer gives a lot more details about the game. However, it's worth checking out the Apple demo to see the game's features and if you have any queries.
To be among the first players to gain access, you'll have to sign up for the free game right here (you'll require a device running at least iOS 10 or Android 7 to play, as per the FAQ). The game's access is restricted because they are adjusting load to the servers. However you must be active to play. If you do not play for seven consecutive days, someone else will take your slot. You'll require an account with Microsoft or Xbox Live account to register after which once you've signed up , there's nothing to do other than wait, and get ready to build.
Are you thinking that life is good? It's about to turn into a BETA! The Minecraft Earth closed beta is scheduled to be played in a handful of areas. Find out what to expect, and register for your chance to play!
