This is Minecraft Earth. It's a free new AR game for iOS and Android. It goes a step beyond Pokémon Go to cover the world in Minecraft blocks. Microsoft is being highly ambitious here, and I got to play an early version. All the details right here: https://t.co/GimUeORZAu pic.twitter.com/R8KX6lZck9

Pokemon Go was a landmark moment for games, but what Microsoft is building here... Calling it now: Minecraft Earth is the killer app that will make Augmented Reality mainstream. This is absolutely revolutionary. We are living in the coolest time.https://t.co/elz5begxHC

Microsoft is going big with Minecraft Earth, and going after Pokémon Go. If they pull it off this could be the killer app for AR https://t.co/GimUeORZAu pic.twitter.com/MQmkyUxZM5

Super excited for the upcoming @minecraftearth game that is leveraging Azure Spatial Anchors for shared, cross-platform experiences. ?

This is exciting and terrifying.

If Microsoft doesn't have people actually watching what's created, the potential for in-game (which could move to real world) abuse would be massive.https://t.co/lYSbFG2ZIy

You can register now for the Beta starting this Summer. Minecraft Earth requires an Xbox Live Account, which also means the XBL MAU stats will multiply once this game is out. These are great news for the Xbox division as a whole. https://t.co/N8cHBUNui8
