In your latest “want to feel old?” moment, Minecraft is turning 15 years old this year. Microsoft is celebrating with deep discounts on Minecraft and its official spinoffs, as well as free in-game goodies that players can claim for 15 straight days.
Oh, and enjoy this delightful short video starring Jason Mamoa and Jack Black!
- Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition $19.99 (50% off)
- Minecraft Dungeons $19.99 (50% off)
- Minecraft Legends $19.99 (50% off)
Discounts apply to PC (Steam) and Microsoft store, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox platforms.
The discount is even better for the mobile version of Minecraft — 70% off on iOS and Android.
Additionally, players can claim free gifts every day through May 29 in the Minecraft Bedrock Marketplace. Each item can be used in the character creator. The most recent item is the 15th anniversary cape.
Nostalgic gamers can play the original Minecraft incarnation, now dubbed Minecraft Classic, directly in their browsers for free. Minecraft Classic features only 32 blocks and a simple interface, but the charm is undeniable.
This year also marks the ten year anniversary since Microsoft acquired Mojang Studios and the Minecraft franchise.
Though it’s getting on in years, Minecraft remains the best-selling video game of all time, and one of the most well-known video games amongst young gamers and pop culture.
