Microsoft Uncovers the Minecraft Windows Phone Version Windows Phone Version Of Minecraft
Minecraft is accessible on a myriad of platforms that range from its native PC to the PlayStation 4 and the iPhone and now the wildly successful Sandbox can be found on Windows Phone devices.
Like other versions of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, the game is abridged in comparison to its PC and console counterparts however it includes both Survival and freeform Creative modes, as well as multiplayer support via local wifi. Microsoft (which recently acquired Minecraft developer Mojang) also declares that this version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition includes several new features that were recently added to Minecraft's PC version, such as new biomes, creatures and "infinite worlds" for players to explore. Like all versions Minecraft however, the "infinite” claim is only as convincing and as technical as the device you play with. Therefore, don't expect huge worlds that rival the PC game on Windows Phone.
