Get Your Splitscreen On: ‘Minecraft’ Xbox 360 Edition Launch Trailer

With the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft releasing on May 9th, a launch trailer has been released which shows plenty of gameplay of the splitscreen variety.

For those few people who haven’t played Minecraft before due to waiting for its release on the Xbox 360, your time is nearly up. Minecraft will be released on Microsoft’s console on May 9th and will cost 1600 MSP, which works out to about $20/£13.20.

This console version of the hit title from Mojang will come with 4 player splitscreen and will support 8 players online in a single map. The main thing missing from this edition of Minecraft is the modding support and other customisation features, but these may be added at a later point.

Though the wait is nearly at a close, you’ll no doubt want to see some gameplay, in which case you should consult the just released launch trailer for the game. You can see that everything looks about the same, there’s a few tweaks to adjust to the gamepad controls in the crafting screens by the looks of it, but that’s about it. Enjoy!

More information on Minecraft can be found on the game’s official website.
