Minecraft gets a deadly minigame on consoles for free

Let’s get ready to tumble.

Microsoft announced today that the console versions of Minecraft are getting a new minigame called Tumble. It is available as part of a free update rolling out today for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, Vita, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions. New content, especially when its free, can keep fans engaged and likely to keep playing. Minecraft has sold over 106 million copies across all of its platforms, and this helped lead to Microsoft buying its developer, Mojang, in 2014 for $2.5 billion.
