14 DAY TRIAL // Minecraft for Xbox 360 developer 4J Studios has confirmed that a brand new update will be released for the game in the near future and detailed the array of changes and fixes to be included in the patch.
Minecraft for Xbox 360 came out on the Xbox Live Arcade earlier this year and, since then, it has broken sales records while reaching millions upon millions of players from all over the world.
Developer 4J Studios has kept on releasing updates for the game, bringing features that have already appeared for the PC version of Minecraft, while fixing various issues.
