Minecraft is available on a variety of platforms, ranging from its native PC to PlayStation 4 and the iPhone and now the wildly successful sandbox exploration hit can also be downloaded for Windows Phone devices.

Like other versions of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, the game is cut in comparison to its PC and console predecessors however, it does feature both Survival and freeform Creative modes as and multiplayer support through local WiFi. Microsoft, which recently acquired Minecraft developer Mojang, also states that the Minecraft: Pocket Edition version comes with a variety of features recently added to Minecraft's PC version. These include new creatures and biomes as well as "infinite realms" for players. As with all versions of Minecraft, that "infinite" claim is only as strong as the technological capabilities of your device, so you shouldn't be expecting huge worlds to compete with the PC game on your Windows Phone.
