The Xbox Wire blog posted up an announcement about the new Xbox One version of Minecraft, revealing that the game will be available to be downloaded from the Xbox store on Friday, September 5th.

For owners of the Xbox 360 version the price is just a simple $4.99/£3.99 to upgrade the game, and it will be possible to port across worlds from the 360 version to the One version, meaning that all the hard work can be implanted into a world that is now up to 36 times larger than before. And if you’ve purchased DLC for the 360 version, that’ll also transfer across for no extra charge. For players who don’t own the 360 version, the price is $19.99/£15.99.

So for all you console Minecrafters; enjoy your new larger world. I’ll be in the PC version enjoying 1.8 😛
