Minecraft on Switch Getting New Version Next Year

Mojang, the developer behind the hit title Minecraft announced during MINECON that an update version of the game for Switch is on its way. 

Currently the game is available on the Nintendo Switch but it is lacking in the recently released cross-platform multiplayer versions. Thankfully it will be coming to the console sometime in 2018 as a new version of the game allowing Xbox One, PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch can all play together which is going to be amazing. 

"Nintendo has been a great partner and we’re really excited to fully bring Switch players into the fold, however, we need to make sure we deliver the best experience possible. So the new version of Minecraft will now be coming to Nintendo Switch next year. Xbox One, PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch, all playing multiplayer Minecraft together in 2018"

Though it isn't clear how this new version will be released, it is likely to be an update to the version already on the store. Players shouldn't need to purchase a new version if they already own it, hopefully.
