The problem with everyone being so connected these days is that at a click of a button, news and spread like wildfire, even if it isn’t necessarily true. For Minecraft players who have come across a rumor suggesting that the game’s servers will be shutting down at the end of 2020, it isn’t true.

For the longest time ever, games playable on the PS4 would remain only playable amongst PS4 gamers.

Using augmented reality (AR) for gaming makes a lot of sense, although admittedly it took the success of Pokemon GO for developers to really sit up and pay attention to it. For those who are looking forward to experiencing more AR based games in the future, Microsoft could have something for you.

The live-action Minecraft movie has already suffered delays and at least there’s a new date now that fans can pencil into their calendars.
