The 'Minecraft Earth' Beta Starts its Global Takeover This Month

It's been about two months since we first learned about Minecraft Earth, the augmented reality version of Mojang's game that gives the real world a playground filled with your own blocky creations. The company had promised that an early version of the game would be available in the summer. Now, with a new trailer of the game, the company has announced that it will launch on iOS in the coming two weeks. Android will follow "soon following that."

The launch on the iPhone isn't too surprising after we got our first glimpse of live gameplay during WWDC last month. The trailer offers more details about the game. It's still worth checking out the Apple demo to see the game's features and if you have any queries.

You will need to sign up for the game for free. According to the FAQ, your device should be running iOS 10 or Android 7. Access is being limited while they are distributing the game's servers but you'll need to be active in order to remain in the game. If you do not play for seven days then someone else will take your slot. You'll require an account on Microsoft or Xbox Live account to register after which once you've signed up , there's nothing else to do except wait and prepare to build.
