Mojang acknowledges, gratifies and encourages each of those millions of players to "fire up your Xbox, load up Minecraft, then throw a freshly-baked cake at your television" in celebration of the momentous day. The studio did not forget to attribute the success of the game to Scottish developer 4J Studios, which has done an insanely great job in bringing the addicting game to the Xbox. This was particularly quick seeing that not too long ago, the figure was at 12 million. These previous packs include cool and lovable characters such as Master Chief, Banjo and Kazooie, Conker, and even Horstachio from "Viva Piñata."Īpart from a birthday celebration, Mojang also revels at the fact that "Minecraft" for Xbox 360 has sold 20 million copies since it was made available on May 9, 2012. Xbox 360 users already enjoyed these free colorful skins but it will be the first time for players using the current-gen console to have the skins. Meanwhile, Xbox One players will finally get to see the first and second birthday packs from the last two years. This pack has "a few cheeky extras" included as well. Xbox One and Xbox 360 players can get an all new pack with "veteran Mojangstas," which has models that resemble developers from the "Minecraft" team that made the 360 game possible and enjoyable.

These freebies will be available for download until May 17 in celebration of the game's arrival three years ago on the last-gen console.

Just like with the Xbox 360 or all the other consoles and platforms.Game company Mojang is celebrating the third birthday of its epic sandbox video game "Minecraft" by giving away three free character skins to Xbox One and Xbox 360 players. So it not the end for Xbox One in general, but the time will come, when all of us have to move on. "No internal teams are now working on games for the older gen consoles outside of support for ongoing games like Minecraft."īut there is still some good news for all Xbox One owners: Booty also noted, that Microsoft's Gen 9 Games are playable on Gen 8 Xbox One consoles via Microsoft's streaming cloud tech. But no other team is working on new games for the old console generation. Booty stated, that some teams are still supporting ongoing games like Minecraft. But the work on Xbox One titles won't stop completely. This indicates that Microsoft will now focus fully in the Xbox Series X and S, which have been out for nearly three years now. In an interview by Axios, Microsoft's Head of Xbox Games Studio, Matt Booty, revealed this decision to the public. It's a decision that had to come at one point in time: Microsoft will no longer develop first-party games for the Xbox One.
