Important News Regarding Minecraft Mobile


To ensure that we can concentrate our resources on the platforms where the majority of Crafters are playing, we are ending support for certain devices and platforms where Minecraft is available. Minecraft will be removed from Gear VR, Windows 10 Mobile and Android devices that have less than 768MB RAM, iOS 10 or lower, Android devices running iOS 10 or lower, and video cards that support DirectX 10.1 or lower.



This will prevent the current Gear VR and Windows 10 Mobile players from playing multiplayer or Realms on these unsupported devices.



Players on affected Android or iOS devices who have a Realms subscription will be able access their Realm on affected devices until they choose to update it on a different device. Multiplayer is only compatible with devices running the same version.



If you're playing on any of these devices, after October 2020, you can continue to play Minecraft. Your Marketplace purchases, including Minecoins, will be available. You can continue building your world. Your Marketplace purchases, Minecoins, and Realms subscriptions will all be available to you if you have an Xbox Live or Microsoft account. If you'd like to transfer your worlds from this device to a different device it is possible to do so by uploading the world to a Realm and downloading a backup to your new device. Or you can transfer your world's files off the device using these instructions.
