The Global Takeover Of ''Minecraft'' Earth Beta Its Launch Date Is This Month

We haven''t heard much about Minecraft Earth in a while. It is an augmented reality version of Mojang''s game that transforms the real world into a playground of your blocky creations. It promised a beta release of the game would arrive this summer , and now it''s here, along with a new trailer, the company says it will be available on iOS within two weeks, with Android following "soon thereafter."

The launch of the game on iOS isn''t a surprise after we got our first peek at live gameplay during WWDC last month. The trailer provides more information about the game. However, it''s worth taking a look at the Apple demo to find out if you have any questions.

To be among the first players to gain access, you''ll have to sign up for the free game right here (you''ll require a smartphone with at least iOS 10 or Android 7 to be able to play, according to the FAQ). Access to the game is limited as they adjust load to the servers. However you must be logged in to play. If you aren''t playing for seven consecutive days, someone else will be able to take your place. You''ll need a 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.

Are you thinking that your life is great? It''s about to turn into a BETA! The Minecraft Earth closed beta is set to launch in a few selected areas. xszxedu Find out more about the beta and register for your chance to play!
