It's been about a year since Microsoft bought Minecraft studio Mojang. Since that time, the Redmond-based company has been steadily working on the massive open world hit game.
You can now play Minecraft across all platforms
That means that if you're playing the game on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, or Windows 10 PC, you can play the game with up to five of your friends
It announced on Wednesday that the Windows 10 and Pocket Editions of the game have been updated for cross-platform multiplayer support.
That means that if you're playing the game on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, or Windows 10 PC, you can play the game with up to five of your friends if they're on any of the platforms mentioned above.
Also, users playing it on mobile devices will finally be able to sprint across the world, enjoy enhanced weather effects, and create new items.
Microsoft has not said if the original PC version before the Windows 10 edition or the console versions (the game is on PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and Xbox One) will be able to partake in cross-platform play, but it's safe to assume this will not be the case.
