Minecraft fans now, in theory, never have to stop playing their favourite game thanks to an update that brings it to a variety of platforms, including Xbox One, Android and Windows 10 computers.

The Better Together Update from developer Mojang not only connects more gamers, allowing them to play together, but it also facilitates new usage scenarios, for example the option to start a game on a console and then move onto a smartphone when you leave the house.

The update also brings new features such as playing time on community servers and automatic synchronisation of updates and content across all devices when you’re logged in with an Xbox Live account. — dpa
