Minecraft to launch on PCs and mobiles

The creators of Minecraft have announced they’re taking their hugely popular game to China.The plan is to make a version of the block-building game for Chinese gamers to play on PCs and mobiles.

Mojang, which makes Minecraft, has struck a deal to work with a company based in China called NetEase.

“We look forward to welcoming China’s builders and adventurers to the world of Minecraft,” said Mojang boss Jonas Martensson.
There are around 700 million internet users in China, so companies are keen to sell their games there.
But there are many tough rules, which explains why Mojang is buddying up with a Chinese company to help them.
An Xbox edition of Minecraft was launched in China last year, but this new version will be for PCs and mobiles.
