Minecraft was today confirmed for a May release on the Nintendo Switch.

Up to 8 crafters can play online; 4 players can also craft locally using the range of the Switch’s control options.

The game will come with the Super Mario mash-up pack, offering Mario-themed tools in-game.

Minecraft heads to the eShop this May, and later as a physical release.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
