Buying the Game on Xbox One
Players now playing on the Xbox 360 and who are planning to buy the game on the Xbox One will not lose any of their worlds. The PS3 saves can also be transferred to the PS4 version as well as the Xbox One. Though it has recently been announced that the Minecraft PS4 as well as the Xbox One edition are likely to be released very soon, there are still new patches and updates being offered for the Minecraft Xbox 360.
TU 15
The Title Update 15 did not bring anything new to the game, but 4J Studios mainly focused on removing bugs that had arisen in the Xbox 360 version. There were problems of random damage from falls; slow loading times; audio issues; split screen problems in multiplayer mode and so on. All these problems have been addressed with the TU 15.
TU16
Recently, there was a celebration from 4J Studios related to the second debut anniversary of the Live Indie Arcade. This was celebrated with the offer of Birthday related skin packs for those wanting to avail new skins. Minecraft PS3 version 1.06 was also available for download during the end of May, being the TU16 for this version. The latest update offers fixes for the player becoming invisible on respawining and dying. When two players enter the nether gate simultaneously, they used to go invisible. This issue was also fixed. Players were also becoming invisible when teleported, which also received a fix. The Noteblock pitch has been corrected and Mobs dying in the walls has been resolved. Chunks that did not load in the maps have also been resolved.
