You can join in at any time now, after you’ve upgraded to Windows 10.

The game is in beta because this new version of Minecraft will evolve over time with the beta testers’ feedback and comments. For everyone who currently owns Minecraft on the PC or Mac, you’ll be able to download this new version of Minecraft for free! For the rest of you, it only costs $10 for the beta version, and updates in the future will then cost nothing additional. Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition beta is (surprise) only available on Windows 10, so if this interests you, you will need to perform the upgrade first. This is likely the best method to play since the on-screen touch controls would be really difficult to use with a single gaze cursor and clicker.For those people who like to play with as many different versions of Minecraft as possible, there is now a new one available. In the video, a keyboard and mouse are used for game input. Since this is a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) application, it also supports the Microsoft HoloLens.īelow is a short video to show it in action. This is the same Minecraft for Windows 10 that’s available to the desktop / laptop version of Windows 10.

The answer from Microsoft for playing Minecraft on the HoloLens is through downloading the Minecraft for Windows 10 Edition Beta from the Windows Store. So, how can Minecraft be played on the Microsoft HoloLens?

It’s also not possible to use Remote Desktop on the HoloLens to play Minecraft either. Currently, the full version of Minecraft is not supported on the Microsoft HoloLens. The answer is a definite YES! Although there are some catches.

Can you play Minecraft on the Microsoft HoloLens? Even if you can’t play the holographic Minecraft yet, there remains a question. Unfortunately, Microsoft has yet to announce any dates as to when they plan on releasing this super cool holographic Minecraft that turns your home into a pixelated playground of wonder. Minecraft on the HoloLens was one of the very first demos Microsoft gave in 2015 to show off how cool holographic gaming could be.
