Mojang’s survival and construction game is a phenomenon that doesn’t seem to end, and now it’s about to make a considerable turn thanks to a new game that changes the way you play, as it bets on the RTS (real-time strategy) genre. Minecraft Legends is launching really soon, and taking advantage of the fact that it comes out on Xbox Game Pass, we remind you that you can get a free subscription.

How to play Minecraft Legends for free on Xbox?

Minecraft Legends is not a free-to-play game, so its launch is paid and there is no free version. However, as it’s included in Xbox Game Pass, it’s a great time to remind you that you can get subscriptions to the Microsoft service completely free thanks to the Microsoft Rewards program.

In our review of Minecraft Legends, we say that “the Blackbird Interactive title is right in its interpretation of the genre to which the Minecraft license is moving. It is a fun game at the controls, easy to play, and with the right depth to not be excessively complex. The campaign mode offers a tour of the game’s mechanics as a tutorial, although it is appreciated that at times it tries to go a little further. Capturing an enemy base is an exercise in strategy to match.” In this link you can read the full review and discover everything it offers.

In addition to PC and Xbox consoles, we remind you that Minecraft Legends will also come to Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PS4, platforms on which its release date is the same: next Tuesday, April 18.
