While Mojang developers claim development was underway before talks of a purchase began, it looks like Microsoft's purchase of Mojang has begun to show itself. Today marks the release of the Windows Phone port of Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
The Windows Phone version appears to be more or less exactly like the iOS and Android versions, complete with cross-platform play and running the 0.10.0 update. Minecraft: Pocket Edition requires Windows Phone 8.1, which is a bit odd considering that versiononly began to rollout to devices fairly recently (July, but some devices still do not have the update). If you're a bit paranoid about security permissions, the game only requires an internet connection to work.
You can get the game for $6.99 at the source link below, and stay tuned to Powered by Redstone for update news.

ReplyDeleteWhen I woke up this morning and I accidentally opened the Windows shop, (I have a windows phone) I noticed a minecraft icon. I had closed the shop when I realized this.

ReplyDelete[…] they are simply bug-testing on more devices for the Android version, or doing all the work on the Windows Phone port. We reached out to Jens for a response, but haven't received an answer […]
