Minecraft is finally available for players on Xbox Game Pass for PC, allowing fans that subscribe to the service to jump on and play one of the most popular games ever made.

After not being available for some time on the subscription service, Minecraft is now fully available for users running Windows 10 and 11. Both the Bedrock and Java Edition of Minecraft are included, allowing players to choose which version of the game they’d like to play. Because both editions are in the game, this also means PC players will be able to cross-play with any other friends on Minecraft regardless of what platform they’re playing on.
Fans worried about having to choose between versions won’t have to worry too much, either, as Minecraft on Xbox Game Pass for PC includes a “unified Minecraft” launcher, which allows you to choose which game to play upon launch.
For those unaware, the Bedrock and Java Editions of Minecraft vary in slightly different ways, with the Java Edition being the main PC version of the game and featuring things like mods and other customizable options, whereas the Bedrock Edition is available widely on other platforms and features cross-play.

The move comes as Mojang also moves to give owners of the game access to both games next year as well. While players who own Minecraft already will have to wait a bit on being able to choose which version to play, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can try it out now.
