Considering how Microsoft acquired Mojang last year, it’s only natural that the game developer be working on a Windows 10 version of Minecraft. However, in a blog post yesterday, Mojang announced that the full game won’t be ready to launch on Windows 10 when the operating system is released later this month. Instead, the developer will be releasing a version of the game known as “Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.”

Mojang is launching a new version of Minecraft for Windows 10, but the full version of the game isn’t actually going to be ready come the Windows 10 launch date of July 29. Instead, Mojang is dubbing the game “Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.” “Just like the first release of Minecraft all those years ago, this version will develop and evolve over time with the help of your feedback. That’s why it has ‘Beta’ in the title – because it’s not quite finished, and will become even more fun over time. Just like the other versions of Minecraft, all future updates will be free. We spoil you. We really do,” Mojang said in a blog post. On the plus side, the game won’t cost a penny for existing Minecraft gamers. “If you’re one of the 20 million(!) players who have the PC edition of Minecraft (referred to by techy people as the Java version) you’ll be able to download Windows 10 Edition Beta from the Windows 10 store for free. Other players can get it for the paltry price of $10 during the beta period (the length of which is still being decided),” Mojang said.
