Minecraft Xbox 360 launch trailer shows split-screen play

Indie world-building hit out next week

Microsoft has sent over the launch trailer for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft, ahead of the game's release on May 9.

The 360 edition of the massively popular build-it-yourself adventure game will support two player and four player split-screen. Dundee-based developer 4J Studios also plans to offer Kinect support in a future game update.

The title was initially due to be released last winter, but was pushed to spring 2012.
