Minecraft Xbox One PS4 Edition Negative And Positive Feedback; See The Verdict Of Your Fellow Gamers! Is It Worth The Upgrade From Xbox 360?

Minecraft Xbox One and PS4 editions have been released just a couple of weeks ago. With the delay of its release dates, players can't help but only expect a well-polished quality of the game, alongside some worth-the-wait features.

Before we go deep into players' disappointment with the lack of impressive facets, let us first consider the commendable offers and updates included in Minecraft Xbox One edition.

First, we like the fact that gamers can upgrade and transfer worlds from Xbox 360 to Xbox One (see tutorial below). The game features scenic vistas and the option to import saved game data onto Xbox One. Meaning, there's no need to start from scratch and just continue with the previous progress and enjoy the rest of the game!

All these and more at a much lower price of $4.99, as compared to its original cost $19.99.

"If you're moving up from "Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition" (either the disc or Xbox Live Marketplace version), the Xbox One upgrade will run you a mere $4.99. And, even better, you can upgrade at this price for a full year from the game's release!" Xbox team shares.

Also, Minecraft Xbox One/PS4 allows players to create bigger worlds as compared to last-gen consoles. As per Forbes, Spaces are now "up to 36 times larger".

Really, Minecraft Xbox One edition is almost identical to its predecessor except for the following: better graphics and longer draw distance. It is worth noting however, that when a world is imported into Xbox One from 360, the world size stays the same.

Additional features that garnered likes are the simplified Menu Navigation, more sensitive controls, and add-on content including 20 DLCs, mashup packs, skin packs, and texture packs. Not to mention the absolutely lovely soundtrack of this version.

In this YouTube video showing the new features included in Minecraft Xbox One, you can see the note: "sadly no bigger multiplayer at launch (the producer pledges more players in future updates)."

Yes, we also ask why are there no bigger multiplayer features as previously announced? One viewer commented: "Adding more players in future updates. Just proves it's unfinished WTF. When you announce something in a trailer, you have to put it in a game on the day of release."

Another one replied: "The reason they put things in trailers that aren't in the game at launch is because we are gamers and for some reason they expect us to just deal with. If some other industry had put out an unfinished product no one would buy it but for some reason we are expected to deal with it. "

In a review grabbed from Metacritic N1MX3 shared:

"Minecraft Xbox One edition isn't a bad game, but for it to be a upgrade is stupid, there is very little differences here, part from larger map sizes, and for waiting over 1 year for this is more ridiculous, it is worth waiting till the updates start rushing in."

At the end of the day, there's no denying that Minecraft has always been a favorite. In fact, Patrick Geuder Saga, the head of data analysis at Minecraft Studio, tweeted that Minecraft sold over 54 million copies across all available platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation3, PC, Mac, iOS and Android.

It made a total profit of 326 million dollars in 2013 and now, with the upcoming release of Minecraft on next-generation consoles, it may score high despite some negative feedbacks on the Xbox One edition.
