Not demanded, or anything... just a kick ass nod or reward for those who bought the 360 version because there was no word on the X1 release date.
I like those guys very much
Yep. I may have bought it again at some point, but offering an upgrade for five bucks is a no brainer. Done and done.

Minecraft on Xbox One, PS4, and PS Vita soon!
by Owen on May 22, 2014
Hello!
We’re finally able to share news about Minecraft on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Playstation Vita.
Apologies for the delay, but putting Minecraft on new consoles is a serious business. People have been using phrases like “logistically-speaking,” “infinite terrain,” and “platform parity” for months now.
We’ve decided that letting current players upgrade for a small fee is the best way to show our appreciation. If you’re a new crafter who’s looking to pick up Minecraft in the next few months – welcome!
We hope this post makes you happy!

- Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Xbox 360 Edition.
- It will include all the features from the most recent Xbox 360 title update.
- Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will cost $19.99.
- If you’ve bought Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from Xbox Live Marketplace, or played online with the disc version, you will be able to upgrade to Xbox One Edition for $4.99.
- You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date.
- Players with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Xbox One. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer saves from Xbox One to Xbox 360. We can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems.
- Cross platform play will not be possible between Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
- Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Xbox 360 Edition will be available for use in Xbox One Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer, but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon.
- Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will be available on the PSN in August.
- It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version, including online play on Vita.
- This means everyone who has bought Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition from PSN will get it on Vita for free. Those fluent in Sony-speak might refer to the deal as “Cross-buy.”
- We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 3 and Vita. We’ll have more info on this closer to release.
- Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will cost $19.99.
- It doesn’t matter if you buy for PS3 or Vita first, you own the game for both platforms.
- Saves are transferrable between the Playstation 3 and Vita versions of Minecraft. You will be able to craft at home on your Playstation 3, then continue on the bus/toilet with your Playstation Vita.
- All of the DLC you’ve purchased for Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition will work on Playstation 3 + Vita Edition.
Thanks for reading everybody!
- Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will be released on the PSN in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Playstation 3 + Vita Edition.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer your saves from Playstation 4 to Playstation 3/Vita. There are technical reasons for this; we can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems.
- Cross-platform play will not be possible between Playstation 3 + Vita Edition and Playstation 4 Edition.
- Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Playstation 3 Edition will be available for use in Playstation 4 Edition.

The $5 upgrade is great. I've had so much mindless fun with my oldest playing on 360. I'm excited about the increase in the world size. The other things carrying over from 360 is just frosting.
It's sorta shocking how little we know about it considering how huge it was on 360. Maybe Microsoft doesn't want to push it as hard now that it will be on Sony's systems as well.
In addition to release date, a lot of basic info about the differences, improvements, and upgrades are still largely unknown.
Bought the game when it was in alpha. Haven't played it since it was in beta.
Did not see the hype.

But that would mean that you admit that you weren't telling the truth. And being that this is the internet, I have to assume you are lying. Which means you are telling the truth in this situation. But that would mean your lying. Which means you're telling the truth about lying. And lying about telling the truth.

Everything I say is a lie.
Expect that.
I still play MC on 360. Has been one of my most played games since its release. My son is now starting to play it with me. When I do get XB One it will continue to be one of my most played games. Looking forward to bigger worlds, more texture packs, and I hope a better online. We need servers so people can play worlds when the host is not online. Also would be great to join randoms or let randoms join your world not just Friends List.
