May 9, 2012: First Console Release
Recommended Videos
Minecraft would eventually come to every major console and handheld but first was the Xbox 360. This was the start of Mojang’s relationship with tech behemoth, Microsoft.
The 360 was in its twilight years. There was no shortage of quality games on the console physically or in the Xbox Live Arcade. However, 360 owners gobbled down Minecraft to the tune of more than 10 million copies sold over two years.
Minecraft is on everything at this point. PC, consoles, mobile, VR, if it plays games then you can probably play Minecraft on it. The versatility of this game is a testament to the timeless nature of its look and gameplay.
The only platforms lacking any form of the game are smart speakers — step it up, Alexa.
