Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Will Transfer Saves to Xbox One Edition, Microsoft Confirms

Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, confirms that Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will cary over to the Xbox One Edition when it launches, a date that is still currently unknown.

All your hard work (and play) will not go to waste. Spencer announced on Twitter today, “After months of teaming up with Mojang, we can confirm that Minecraft X360 Edition will save transfer to Xbox One Edition.” He added that more news is on the way.

An Xbox One Edition of 4J Studios and Mojang’s popular sandbox title, Minecraft, was announced during Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference last year. As mentioned, we’ve yet to learn of a launch date for the next-gen version.

Mojang’s Owen Hill confirmed in a PlayStation Blog posting earlier that the will apply to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 Editions of Minecraft.

“The plan is to enable users to transfer from PS3 to PS4,” he wrote. “We’re still working out how it’ll work with the Vita version.”
