The full update will be released for free on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, Pocket Edition and Gear VR Edition this fall, but in the meantime, Pocket Edition players can access the beta version today!
Developer Mojang has announced that its latest major update — The Boss Update — is available today in beta form for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, before rolling out at a later date on Windows 10 Edition Beta and Gear VR Edition as well.
The update brings a number of new Minecraft features to these versions of the game, which Mojang believe will benefit all types of players.
This is part of Mojang’s goal for every version of the game to have “full feature parity with one another”.
