Minecraft has gone from PC fixture to pop culture darling since its release almost two years ago.

According to reports, series creator Markus "Notch" Persson went to twitter today to announce the news.

"Lots of people are asking if we'll continue updating #MinecraftXBLA after the release of #MinecraftXbox1," tweeted 4J Studios. "Yes, we will!"
In an interview with OXM UK, Microsoft Game Studio's head Phil Spencer said that saves from Minecraft's Xbox 360's edition wouldn't carry over to it's Xbox One upgrade.
"No, it's a new product on Xbox One," said Spencer. " We're actually updating it in pretty significant ways for the new platform. Bigger worlds, which don't translate between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One."

"Just chatted to @popsRamjet and we are still actually discussing it with @4jstudios! Stay tuned tiny.cc/8ktoyw @OXMUK @Eurogamer," Spencer tweeted.
