Minecraft offers mobile players free-to-play augmented reality game

Ten years in, Minecraft continues to grow. There are now over 200 million registered users of the China edition of Minecraft. Nearly 130 million Minecraft Hour of Code sessions have been completed, and the base game has sold 176 million copies worldwide.

To commemorate its 10-year anniversary, the brand is launching an augmented reality (AR) mobile game, Minecraft Earth. Minecraft Earth blends state-of-the-art Microsoft technology like Azure Spatial Anchors tracking and PlayFab integration for a sophisticated AR gaming experience where gamers collect, explore, build and survive. Minecraft and PlayFab are part of the Microsoft family.

MINECON is also back as MINECON Live. The annual livestream about all things Minecraft will be around 90 minutes long, packed with news, sessions with content creators, and on-demand community panels. MINECON Live will be streamed on Minecraft.net and other Minecraft-owned channels on September 28 at 12 pm EST.
