Minecraft Earth Closing Down This June, Free Copies of Minecraft Being Offered to Customers

Minecraft Earth was supposed to compete with Pokemon GO by offering a Minecraft experience outdoors. However, due to the global pandemic, the game simply did not take off as intended and now the title is shutting down this June 2021.

An official press release was offered about what players can expect.

Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play – two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to re-allocate our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and to end support for Minecraft Earth in June 2021.

 

Removing real-money transactions

Drastically reducing ruby costs

Including all completed, unreleased content currently in our pipeline

Reducing time requirements for crafting and smelting

Replacing unused crafting & smelting boosts with radius boosts of the same level

Granting a set of Character Creator items to players who sign in between January 5 and June 30 

 

Mojang is offering everyone who made a purchase on Minecraft Earth a free copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
