Retail version of Minecraft for Xbox 360 delayed

Not too long now

Recommended Videos

Minecraft on the Xbox 360 is currently the highest grossing Xbox LIVE Arcade game out there and, nearly a year after its release, is still one of the most played games on Xbox LIVE — outdoing most retail games when it comes to online activity.

Given all the success, it was hardly surprising to hear that a retail version of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition was to be released by Microsoft, 4J Studios, and Mojang. A disc-based Minecraft game for Xbox 360 is still happening, it’s just we’re going to need to wait a little while longer.

Larry Hryb has posted an update on the game, stating that, “In order to include the very latest content, the retail version for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been delayed until June 4 (US).”

No news yet if other regions, which had been given an “early June” launch date, will also be receiving a delay.
