Xbox One S ‘Minecraft’ Favorites Bundle: Get Creative!

Summer has officially come to an end, so why not start autumn off on the right foot? Microsoft is eager to help, as they have revealed a new console bundle: the Xbox One S Minecraft Favorites Bundle!

A digital copy of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is the centerpiece, and if you have been exploring Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, you’ll be happy to learn that you can import your progress over to your new console.

Furthermore, to ensure that you’ll have all of the tools you’ll need, a plethora of downloadable content for Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is included. In total, the DLC amounts to “over 230 character skins, 3 texture packs and 7 Mash-up packs.”

It isn’t surprising that Microsoft enlisted Minecraft to serve as the face of one of their hardware bundles. I wouldn’t be surprised if it sold well.

Minecraft is a computer game originally developed by Markus “Notch” Persson and his studio, Mojang. The original rendition of the sandbox game launched in 2009, and it has since become available on nearly every gaming platform that’s currently on the market. Across these platforms, Minecraft has enjoyed a considerable level of success.

A spin-off title developed by Telltale Games has also been released, and it isn’t uncommon to find kids wearing Minecraft-branded t-shirts. Speaking as someone who has a day job in retail, I frequently see them playing with Minecraft-related objects. I bet they’re excited for the upcoming movie!

Microsoft, having noticed the cultural phenomena, purchased both Minecraft and Mojang back in 2014, securing their ownership of a historic property. Persson retired upon the acquisition, likely with the satisfaction of having helmed a modern classic.
