Happy Birthday, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition!

Fire up your Xbox, load up Minecraft and celebrate the birth of Minecraft on Microsoft’s console. Its three years old! If Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition were a human it would be gaining independence and learning how to use zippers.

To celebrate this monumental occasion we’re giving the 20 million players on Xbox 360 and Xbox One a heap of colorful skins. From May 7 until the May 17, three packs will be available to download for free. There’s a brand-new bundle featuring veteran Mojangstas and a few cheeky extras, the 2nd Birthday Skin Pack from last year, and the 1st Skin Pack from Minecraft’s first birthday.

Veteran 360 players might already have the older packs, but this is the first time any of them have been available on Xbox One. Be sure to snap them up, early(ish) adopters!

And for posterity sake, the acutual birthday is May 9th (Saturday), but Microsoft wants to celebrate as long as they can.  So what are you waiting for, go download people.
