In many ways, the multiple control modes could make this version feel like the ultimate hybrid between mobile and desktop versions.

Windows already has Minecraft, but this additional variant aims to be more tuned to what Windows 10 offers.

It joins the many other places you can already play Minecraft: Windows, Mac, Windows Phone, iOS, Android, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PS Vita.
