Minecraft has been an undeniably huge success with the PC crowd. Â The game which has been an ongoing labor of love, has remained in its alpha and beta stages for years now. Â All the while collecting millions of fans, and customers, who haven’t let the term beta be a deciding factor in their purchase. Â Recently, Minecraft was inked to a deal with the Xbox 360 that would bring the game to the console with some interesting features to coincide with the Kinect motion controller. Â But while the PC version of Minecraft will be coming out of beta this November, the Xbox 360 version will be heading into beta claims Markus “Notch” Persson.
In a recent interview, Persson said that he wants the development on the console to go much the way that it did on the PC. Â The development process helped Persson figure out which aspects of the game are the most fun for the players before releasing “officially”. Â In the interview, Persson didn’t estimate on the length of the beta for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft. Â Though he did forecast that some of the perks that PC version has, like frequent updates and mods, will not be available on XBLA.
