Minecraft takes over another platform.
Today, the Pocket Edition of the popular block-building game is out for Windows phones for $7. Originally a PC game, Minecraft is now available on consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and mobile platforms like iOS and Android.
The release of a Windows phone version isn’t too surprising, given that Microsoft bought Minecraft developer Mojang in September for $2.5 billion. And for good reason. In total, Minecraft has sold about 54 million copies as of June. Minecraft: Pocket Edition is currently the No. 7 paid iPhone game on the App Store, according to App Annie.
