4J Studios have confirmed on their twitter account that "Minecraft" for the next-generation consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will make it in time for their August release date and that they can see "the light at the end of the tunnel".

Many fans said that "Minecraft" on the next-generation consoles doesn't seem to bring many improvements in terms of graphics, as the developers promised, mentioning that the game looks similar to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

Developers have also said that "Minecraft" on the next-generation consoles will have 36 bigger worlds than currently Xbox 360 and PS3 support. In addition, the developers promised graphical improvements and a draw distance on the upcoming version of the game.

According to a report from Gamespot, "Minecraft" (which was released 4 years ago), sold over 16 million copies for PC and MAC versions. In February, it had 14 million copies sold for PC and MAC, and a total of 54 millions copies sold across all platforms.

In concordance with Mojang, "Minecraft" will come on Xbox One with all the features that Xbox 360 version, and will cost 19.99 dollars. Loyal players who already have "Minecraft" on their Xbox 360, will be able to upgrade to the new "Minecraft: Xbox One" version for only 4.99 dollars.

Developers Mojang has made it official that "Minecraft: Xbox One Edition" will arrive at the Xbox Live Marketplace with an August release date.

While the next generation update features no significant difference from Xbox 360, the game world is expected to be around 36 times bigger.

According to the official announcement posted in Xbox website, Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will allow players to import their saved Minecraft worlds onto Xbox One.

"That's right: You don't have to start from scratch. You can just keep going, right where you left off! That goes for most (but not all) of your downloadable skins and texture packs, though not all of them will make the jump."

However, Xbox One saves cannot be transferred to Xbox 360, because of the challenge in squeezing a larger world into a smaller one.

There is one problem, "Minecraft: Xbox One Edition" limits players to eight when it launches in August. Several fans got disappointed after the news, as this is the same number of players allowed in the current Xbox 360 version.

A tweet from Microsoft Games Studios Producer Roger Carpenter assured everyone that this is not going to be the case forever.

@PopsRamjet tweeted "#minecraftxbox1 will be 8 player at release but we will continue working to allow more players in a future update!"

PlayStation 4, like the Xbox One version, will come with 36 bigger worlds and some great graphic improvements. The PlayStation 3 users who have Minecraft on their consoles will be able to upgrade to Minecraft: PlayStation 4 for 4.99 dollars the same as Xbox One. However, the new players to this game will have to buy Minecraft for their PlayStation 4 for the price of 19.99 dollars.

Minecraft enthusiasts are currently 12 million strong on Xbox.
