Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed that Minecraft continues to attract around 300,000 new players daily, despite being 17 years old and having sold over 425 million copies. At Minecraft Live: Dungeons II, Sharma announced a new dimension, new ways for creators to build, and Minecraft on Nintendo Switch 2. The Switch 2 version of Minecraft, initially leaked in June, was officially confirmed for a 27th October release last month, although an upgrade for existing Switch 1 owners is not free.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella praised Xbox's ongoing streamlining, just days after more layoffs hit the division.
