Keen to download Minecraft for PC and not sure where to start? We've got you. It isn't nearly as hard to do as it used to be.

Mojang Studios have announced the Minecraft PC Bundle, a package deal that will give Xbox Game Pass for PC users access to both the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

To be more specific, the two versions are Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and they'll both be available via Xbox's Game Pass for PC service from November 2, 2021.

"Minecraft" offers cross-platform play for both versions of the game — Bedrock and Java — but you can only play with users who own the same version.

The Bedrock Edition has used Microsoft Accounts for cross-save, cross-play, and online and privacy settings for ages, but the Java Edition still uses Mojang Accounts.
