'Minecraft Earth' Beta Brings AR Building To Android Next Week

Don't worry, Android fans -- if you've been thinking about when you can experience the augmented reality experience of Minecraft Earth, you don't have too much longer to wait. Mojang and Microsoft have announced that the Minecraft Earth beta will reach Google-powered devices in the next week. It's encouraging users to sign up to get the first chance at playing.

To recap, it's not just an extension of the game of world-building in the real world, even though you can play similar to that. You can take on challenges when you step outside and encourages you to embark to adventures together with your friends. Think of it more as an authentic social Minecraft experience that happens to use AR as its channel.

Android users We have heard from you! The #MinecraftEarth beta is coming on your devices! Join Servers to be part of the fun!
