Minecraft turned 15! Expect 15 days of Character Creator gifts and huge discounts

Can you believe it? Minecraft is turning 15 years old and Mojang has been teasing the event since the beginning of the month! It’s still pretty wild to think that this game, which has become a global phenomenon, has been around for a decade and a half. To mark this milestone, Xbox and Mojang Studios are rolling out the red carpet with 15 days of celebrations and gifts that promise to be a real treat for fans.

Now, I’ve seen people stretch their birthday celebrations over a weekend, but dedicating two weeks to celebrate the world’s best-selling video game? That’s on another level, especially when you consider that Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies worldwide.

What can you expect from the Minecraft 15th anniversary?

Starting from May 15th, players are in for a treat with 15 days of deals, themed gifts, and surprises. Imagine logging in each day to find a new Character Creator item waiting for you, totally free! That’s 15 new items to collect, each representing a different year of Minecraft’s rich history. It’s like a mini-adventure every day, wondering what cool new item will pop up next.

And it’s not just about collecting items. The Minecraft Birthday Bonanza teaser has hinted at even more exciting things to come. With words like download, share, watch, and play being thrown around, it feels like we’re on the cusp of something big. Could it be related to the upcoming Tricky Trials Update that’s set to bring new paintings and music to the game? Only time will tell, but the anticipation is definitely building.

Speaking of which, according to Mojang’s 15th anniversary announcement, you will also have up to 50% OFF for a lot of Minecraft games and the Minecraft for Mobile version will have an up to 70% discount in this period.

We’ve saved the best for last. You can also snag 500 minecoins to spend in the Minecraft Marketplace. That’s a nice little bonus to start the celebrations. And the best part? These festivities aren’t just confined to the game. Minecraft’s Instagram page will be buzzing with daily updates, giving players a sneak peek at the items being released each day. It’s a great way to stay in the loop and make sure you don’t miss out on any of the fun.

So, if you’re a Minecraft player, the next 15 days will be all about fun and joy in the pixelated world. Happy birthday, Minecraft!
