Retail disc [ ]

On June 4, 2013, Microsoft released the first retail disc of Xbox 360 Edition with a free gold membership. It cost US$19.99, the same price as the Xbox Arcade version. The game otherwise is identical to the downloadable version. Features such as buying or downloading content on Xbox Live are the same for both versions and they both updated at the same time. It was released in regions or countries supported by Xbox Live. The disc version is updated to TU9.

Gameplay [ ]

Release [ ]

The game was showcased as a playable demo at MINECON 2011 and was deemed a 'work in progress'.[10] 4J Studios confirmed that it had all the features of Java Edition Beta 1.6.6 when released, and that it would later be updated. IGN also filmed a video at MINECON showing that the graphics look very similar to Java Edition.[11]

Notch later announced the team developing the game would be 4J Studios.[12] [13] Daniel Kaplan tweeted about receiving an early copy of Xbox 360 Edition on September 7, 2011.[14]

In October 2011, Microsoft said the release was planned for Spring 2012.[15] On March 22, the official release date was posted by Larry Hryb, the Director of Programming for Xbox Live, as May 9,[16] and a few days before the game release, HatFilms released "the official trailer" for Xbox 360 Edition.

The game was officially released on May 9, 2012, and set a new sales records on the Xbox Live Arcade, selling more copies in the first 24 hours of launch than previous titles.[17]

The retail disc version was released on June 4, 2013, being exactly the same as the arcade version, with the exception of internet connection not being a requirement to play.

Skin Packs [ ]

4J Studios has produced multiple Skin Packs as downloadable content. Each Skin Pack includes about 45 skins to choose from. The first Skin Pack, Skin Pack 1, was released July 16, 2012 at a cost of US$1.99. The Skin Pack contains characters from Xbox 360 games, such as the Master Chief from Halo. On Xbox 360 Edition's birthday, the player can download special skin packs for free. There are many more skin packs, including a Christmas Skin Pack, a Marvel Skin Pack, a Spider-Man Skin Pack and multiple Animal Skin Packs. The Skin Packs also include various original designs created by 4J Studios. In total, there are more than 10 skin packs.
