Minecraft on PS4 and Xbox One is the same amazing game, but with even bigger worlds than we've see on consoles before.

The defining game of the last ten years is also one of the most surprising. Minecraft is unmissable.

A communal imaginarium, a cultural phenomenon, and an epic social experiment; Minecraft is all of these things and more, but it's also a superb example of gaming's ability to ignite and inspire our fascination with creation.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition lays the foundation for incredible constructions and grand adventures, both large and small.

All told, this is yet another excellent port of Minecraft, nothing more and nothing less. With that being said, we would strongly recommend that you pick up this version, as the versatile setup of the Switch allows this to be the most easily accessible and playable Minecraft to date. That convenience factor is the only real notable difference, however, so it’s up to you whether that justifies paying for another version of Minecraft. If you want to play the best portable version of the game, however, look no further.
