Mojang tror nu på, at Xbox Live Arcade-konverteringen af Minecraft kan blive det første spil til Microsofts tjeneste, der får “konstante opdateringer”, men de vil dog ikke komme lige så løbende som på PC.

Normalt vil Microsoft undersøge hver eneste patch til sine Xbox-spil, men ifølge Paddy Burns, der er chief technology officer på Minecraft XBLA, vil man snart gøre op med den process.

"Microsoft knows that to do a similar thing that's on PC where they constantly update it, that's a very difficult thing to do on Xbox because you have to go through the full tests," forklarede han.

"But they are quite keen to move towards that - they do see it as the future, so I think we might be the first to do constant updates."

Burns tilføjede, at spillerne ikke bør forvente samme antal opdateringer som på PC.

"I don't think it'll ever come to that. I think that there will always be Microsoft testing involved.

"But the whole turnaround of that testing they're hoping to speed up, so we can maybe roll out every two months. We'll have to see how that goes... I'm really looking forward to it being updated with patches and new features after it's released."

Når Minecraft lanceres på XBLA senere på året vil det være lig med version 1.6.6 af PC betaen.
