Microsoft has just announced that Windows 10 gets its own version of Minecraft and it will cost only $10. The version that works on Windows, Mac or Linux sells for $19.95. Things are getting even more attractive for the owner of the Minecraft, as they will get to download the Windows 10 edition beta for free.

Since the game earned a distinguished title of best selling game of all times, it doesn’t come as surprise that Microsoft wants to push this game with the new operating systems. In late 2014 Mojang announced that they sold 60 million copies across all platforms,with 100 million registered users as of late February 2015.
