Minecraft Pocket Edition Digs into Xperia Play

The first version of Minecraft – Pocket Edition is ready for Xperia Play owning gamers (all 30 of you). The game will be exclusive to Xperia Play for a limited time and released to other Android devices in the near future. 

The first version (Alpha 0.1) will focus on the creative aspects of Minecraft. We have tried to put in the features that make sense for playing on a mobile device while still keeping the core of the Minecraft experience. You will be able to select blocks on the touchscreen or just scroll through them with the circle and square buttons on the Xperia Play device. The first version also supports multi-player on a local wireless network allowing you to create a world and invite friends to build together. Some of the features in this release include:

Just like the PC/Mac/Linux version of Minecraft we’re planning to continue developing the Pocket Edition for a long time with frequent updates. We are eager to hear what the Minecraft community thinks about our new game and what you all want to see in future updates.

Minecraft – Pocket Edition is now available in Android Market (only visible to Xperia Play devices) for $6.99

If only we had that Xperia Play to review the title. Oh, speaking of that, a local are (Milwaukee) Verizon commercial had the Xperia Play set at $99.99 with contract. A price drop must mean they aren’t seeing the sales they had hoped.
