#Minecraft earth will june update

We'll never know for sure if Minecraft Earth could have survived or thrived if the pandemic never happened, but the game simply cannot function with the way things are. There is only so much room in a gamer's schedule for AR games, and Pokemon Go cemented its place long before the competitors could get their act together.

The mixture of Minecraft and the Pokemon Go formula seemed like a license to print money, but it wasn't meant to be. If you spent any real-world money on Minecraft Earth, then you are also entitled to a free copy of Minecraft, but only on mobile phones. Mojang said the game is built for movement and collaborative play, and the COVID-19 pandemic has made that impossible.

If you have any remaining ruby balance, then it will be converted into Minecoins, which can be spent on the Minecraft Marketplace. On June 30, Mojang Studios will officially cease all development and support of Minecraft Earth.

The game will receive one final update today, which will remove the monetization aspects of Minecraft Earth, and add the remaining content that was being developed for the game. Minecraft Earth will come to an end this June. The global pandemic is the reason for the game shutting down, as it's based around traveling and co-op play. A post on the official Minecraft website goes into further detail.
