Minecraft Is Coming To Apple TV This Year
Minecraft will be available on tvOS-powered Apple TVs by the year's end, the company announced during its keynote today.
Apple CEO Tim Cook mentioned Minecraft while discussing the 8,000 apps available on the Apple TV, which he said includes more than 2,000 games.
Cook said players will be able to build Minecraft worlds on their Apple TV and play with friends across Apple devices, such as iPads and iPhones.
Microsoft purchased Minecraft and publisher Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion.

Our Take
Minecraft coming to Apple TV shows both the enduring appeal of the aging sandbox game and the versatility of Apple's tvOS ecosystem.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
