Minecraft Earth early access starts sometime in October

Minecraft Earth early access will kick off sometime in October, Mojang and Microsoft have recently declared.

“Time to get your phones charged and ready,” a tweet from the game’s official account reads. “Minecraft Earth is almost here, with early access rolling out to select countries all around the globe, starting this October!”

It’s unclear when — and where — the early access will begin, but those interested in playing can sign-up for updates right here. You’ll need a smartphone running Android 7 or iOS10 or higher to take part and must also be 18-years-old or older.

We’ve reached out to Microsoft Australia to see if we can get more information; stay tuned for more as we’re made aware.

Announced earlier this yearMinecraft Earth is an augmented reality (AR) game for iOS and Android devices.
