Minecraft Xbox One Edition’s multiplayer to expand after launch

According to a new tweet from Roger Carpenter, the Lead Producer for Minecraft Xbox One Edition, the game will originally only feature eight players for multiplayer but they will continue to work on adding more players for future updates. Even with that tweet there is still no word on when this update will hit or how many players will be supported in the multiplayer world. But there is no need to get ahead of ourselves since the game hasn’t even been released yet and there is still no definite date, only the tentative time frame of August. We can only hope the update comes fairly soon after the initial release.
