Xbox Live Arcade has been the most favorite platform for several users. It has been coming up with new games every time. However, getting a game included in Xbox Arcade is not as simple as it seems. For games like Minecraft, which changes very frequently, it is rather more difficult to get approval as XBLA title. This way Minecraft is giving two different experiences to people who are on two different platforms, like PC and Xbox Live.
Microsoft is planning to bring updates quite frequently according to the changes in Minecraft. Whereas brining in updates as frequently as Microsoft does is not easy for XBLA. Paddy Burns, the chief technical officer of Minecraft, told that frequent updates are not easy as every update has to undergo the complete checking process.
However, he said, Monjang’s 4j studio is working towards bringing in regular updates, at least once in every two months. Initially Beta 1.6.6 version of Minecraft was released for XBLA. This was followed by E3 version of the game. Now, 4j studio is working to catch up with the latest 1.0 version as soon as possible.
