The annual event gives the community some insight into what's coming next in future updates, and allows people to vote on new mobs that will get added to the game.

The announcement was made at Minecraft Live which went ahead on October 16. Game Pass is generally considered to be a service that's worth the monthly cost, so having one of the world's most successful games on its books can only be a good thing. Although millions of people already own the game, having the game on PC through a subscription service is likely to entice those who have yet to get hold of a copy.

There is already a console version of Minecraft through Game Pass, so this latest update will simply bring it to the PC port, which is supposed to be available on November 2, so there's just over two weeks to wait.

However, it doesn't appear that cross-play between Java and Bedrock will be possible at this stage. The Java version was the original build and is better for modding, but the Bedrock edition is better for cross-play. This means players will get the best of both worlds. For those wondering which version it will be that's coming to Game Pass, Java or Bedrock edition, it will be both, according to the post. In a post on the official Minecraft website, after the live event went ahead yesterday, the game will indeed be coming to the Microsoft subscription service.

It's a game that is available on just about every platform, and now a new announcement says the PC version of the game will be coming to Xbox Game Pass next month. Last year, the Mojang sandbox game surpassed 200 million in sales, and it doesn't appear to be showing any signs of slowing down. Minecraft may have had humble beginnings, but since coming out of beta ten years ago, it's become one of the biggest IPs in gaming history, second only to the likes of Tetris.
