Minecraft Earth shuts down, but AR gaming should bounce back

Microsoft recently announced that Minecraft Earth will shut down in June. It stated that it wants to “reallocate” limited resources due to the pandemic in order to serve the Minecraft community better.

And that’s happening, even after the popular augmented reality game made an impressive debut. It fetched over 1 million users in the U.S. alone within a week of its November 2019 launch.
