Minecraft Legends has reached the three million player milestone. A hotfix also brings improvements in matchmaking.
Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive are pleased that just 10 days after its release, more than three million players have played Minecraft Legends and entered the epic story of defending the overworld from the evil Piglings.
The hotfix delivered with update 1.17.28951 provides matchmaking improvements. It is now possible to specifically play with friends on the same team. Also, the matchmaking timer has been reduced from 60 seconds to 10 seconds after at least six players have joined the lobby. This allows new games to start faster than before.
Crashes and bugs in various localizations were also targeted. In the background, the team is also continuously working on improvements and bug fixes.
Minecraft Legends has been available since April 18 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC and can be played via Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
