Mojang has announced that 'Minecraft' - both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition - will join Xbox Game Pass for PC in November.

Mojang Studios have announced the Minecraft PC Bundle, a package deal that will give Xbox Game Pass for PC users access to both the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

To be more specific, the two versions are Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and they'll both be available via Xbox's Game Pass for PC service from November 2, 2021.

Working with their publishers Microsoft, Minecraft developers at Mojang have confirmed that their two most popular editions of the game will be released as part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass for PC.

Minecraft has been available on Xbox Game Pass on console for some time, but this is the first time the enormously popular PC version has been made available on Microsoft's subscription service.

Minecraft is an interesting game, with one of the longest developments in the history of the gaming industry.

Minecraft: Java Edition is the renamed version of Mojang's original sandbox building game. It was simply called Minecraft until it was renamed to add Java Edition in 2017.

Java is also not terribly well optimized for 3D games like Minecraft, and wouldn't have run well on the first round of consoles it released on, which includes the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
