　　Now Playing: Minecraft In 4K On The Xbox One X Brings A Whole New Gorgeous Look - E3 2017

　　"So going forward, the edition you'll find on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, mobile, and VR will simply be known as 'Minecraft,' a separate entity from 'Minecraft: Java Edition,' which is the original PC game (that we'll continue to support, of course)," Mojang said. "This means when you buy 'Minecraft,' you're buying a game that can you can play with friends across devices."

　　If you own Minecraft for Xbox One or Switch already, you'll get the new version of Minecraft for free. All DLC and existing worlds that you've made will come with you to the new edition. Additionally, all DLC will be shared across platforms at no extra cost.

　　There was no mention of the PlayStation versions of Minecraft in the announcement today. We'll follow up with Microsoft about that at E3 and will report back with whatever we hear.

　　Additionally, an update for the game will add player-made skins, maps, textures, and "massive community servers."

　　Additionally, an update for Minecraft this year will add 4K support and more graphical options. There will be a Super Duper Graphics Pack (real name) that delivers these elements, including what looks like larger worlds and enhanced features like water reflections and shadows.

　　Microsoft's E3 2017 briefing has ended. If you missed it or want to catch up with all the news, you can check out this roundup of all the major announcements.
