Minecraft developer Mojang to publish Cobalt on Xbox One next month

Before Microsoft spent $2.5 billion to buy Minecraft developer Mojang, the studio dabbled in working as a third-party publisher. Those efforts have led to the Xbox One getting a new game.

Cobalt, a multiplayer action game from developer Oxeye Game Studio, hits Xbox One and PC on February 2 for $20 through the Xbox Store. Cobalt puts players in control of a space-traveling robot who likes to shoot his way through most situations. And while this probably won’t in any way justify spending $2.5 billion on Mojang, Cobalt will at least give Xbox One one more game in its library as it continues trying to woo customers away from choosing the top-selling PlayStation 4 console.
