Minecraft: Xbox One Edition coming to builders this August

At the rate Microsoft is releasing Xbox One news this month you have to wonder what Microsoft is saving for their E3 press conference.  They've already announced a new Halo game, removed the paywall for paid services, given a date for external hard drive support, and dropped the Kinect requirement.

Today the company announced that Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be available this August.  If you already own the Xbox 360 version of the game you'll be able to upgrade for $4.99 and all of your existing content can be migrated to the new version.  Those that don't own the game will be able to purchase the game for $19.99.

Not a bad deal all around and I know that a lot of people are looking forward to building bigger worlds in the upgraded version of the game.
