It is with a heavy heart that we must announce today we're releasing the final Minecraft Earth build. We've made several adjustments to make the next few months as fun as possible, but the game will be officially close down and be removed from the app stores on June 30, 2021.
Thank you for your support over the past year and we hope we can spend the next few months making some great memories together.
