Minecraft Earth, a new AR-based mobile game from Microsoft, has been announced for mobile, and a beta version of Minecraft Earth is also coming soon.
It’s still early days in terms of details (for example, there’s no full trailer for the game yet), but we do have some data we can gather to get an idea of what the new Minecraft game is about, including updates on when. We can also expect a Minecraft Earth beta date.
Minecraft Earth Beta Access: How to Register for the Beta
Minecraft Earth has a beta coming soon for iOS and Android, but it’s a closed beta, meaning it’s largely a matter of luck whether or not you’ll have access after signing up.
Still, Minecraft Earth beta sign-ups are now live, and it’s worth a try if you’re interested in giving the Minecraft Go-style AR game a try before it’s fully released, so here’s how to do it.
How to sign up for access to the Minecraft Earth beta:
- Head to the official Minecraft Earth beta registration page.
- Enter your Microsoft account details when prompted, or create an account if you don’t already have one.
- Fill out the form on the next page and press the “Sign Up” button at the bottom.
Super simple then! You may notice that developer Mojang and Microsoft Studios ask for quite a bit of information about you during the registration process; They explained that this is used “to send you your free skin and communicate updates about the game, including beta programs.” ” while “they will use the other data to help us determine candidates for any beta programs we may launch.”
Minecraft Beta Release Date Expectations – When will the beta be released?
On July 18, Minecraft Earth launched to its first group of beta testers in both London and Seattle.
It’s still unknown when Minecraft Earth will reach the rest of the world, but the release should continue through the summer.
On July 11, Microsoft and Mojang announced that the closed beta for iOS would launch in the next two weeks, followed by the Android version. This means that the closed beta for iOS could launch on July 25, although we’re still waiting for a solid announcement date.
Minecraft Earth explained: What is Minecraft Earth and what do we know so far about the new Minecraft mobile game?
Minecraft Earth is a new AR mobile game, Pokémon Go style, only it’s Minecraft. Here’s the first full trailer to give you an idea, though keep in mind that none of this is actual gameplay yet.
There are five key points of information we have from a press release so far:
- Go on adventures: In Minecraft Earth you’ll go out into the real world to find small groups of blocks, chests, or mobs called Tappables. As you walk, you’ll also find adventures that are small slices of Minecraft worlds that you play in life-sized AR. Examples given are that your sidewalk becomes a mine, where there may be diamonds under your feet, or your local park may have Minecraft trees where skeletons lurk. Players will “collect resources, fight mobs, and earn experience points to progress their career.”
- Collect, Explore, and Survive: Minecraft Earth will feature “many of the same mobs from Vanilla Minecraft,” along with new ones that will be revealed in-game. You’ll also be able to gather those mobs to “populate buildings”, along with all the usual farmable resources.
- Experience your creations around you: Players can build their own permanent creations in Minecraft Earth through special items called Build Plates, which Microsoft describes as “the best implementation of the vanilla game’s creative spirit.” With them, you can build in small table-sized environments where you can interact from above, or if you place your Build Plates on the ground you can see your creations outside in “life-size scale.”
- Collaborative Multiplayer: Minecraft Earth is described as “optimized for social multiplayer experiences,” and anyone with an AR-enabled smartphone and the game installed will be able to join your session.
- Deluxe Tech: Minecraft Earth will use proprietary Microsoft technology such as Azure Spatial Anchors tracking and PlayFab integration “to bring the game to life and deliver a sophisticated AR gaming experience.”
There is still no enormous some clarity from those points. It seems like the game is mostly about building Minecraft-style structures around you in the real world, and adding to or joining other people’s creations as you walk around. At least that’s what the trailer suggests.
There’s also a bit more information in the official FAQ:
- Minecraft Earth will be a free game and No have loot boxes.
- It’s available on iOS and Android AR compatible devices, and more details about them will be announced “soon.”
- In terms of player safety, here’s the official line: “Players and parents will be able to use Account Management to adjust security and privacy settings. A reporting system will allow players to report any in-game concerns and on our website. In addition, we will also have a moderation team working 24/7 to manage and respond to reports.”
Interesting! There’s still a lot to reveal then, of course, but this, along with games like Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, marks another major player entering the Pokémon Go-style AR mobile game genre, and we’re quite intrigued to see how it turns out. outside. We’ll update this page as we learn more!
