With over 106 million copies sold, you could say the indie title has been a success.

Good news for Minecraft fans in the market for a new Xbox.
In addition to serving up digital codes for Minecraft, the upcoming Xbox One S bundle includes Minecraft’s digital Favorites Pack, which adds seven “community-favorite” batches of downloadable content to the base game, including the popular Halo Mash-up and Festive Mash-up packs. “You can explore randomly-generated worlds and build awesome things from the simplest of homes to the grandest of castles, play in Creative Mode with unlimited resources or mine deep in Survival Mode, crafting weapons and armor to fend off unsafe mobs”. For the Xbox One copy of the game, you’ll receive physical props and a gift card, while the Federation Internationale de Football Association 17 Xbox One S console bundle has an outright discount before launch. That’s the cheapest Xbox One S console to date, and this one hasn’t even released yet.
Also included are download codes for the Favorites Pack and Builder’s Pack. While the Windows 10 version supports cross-platform play with Minecraft: Pocket Edition for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, the game does not now allow Xbox One and Windows 10 users to play together.
