But now here comes the first casualty: Microsoft has indeed announced one version of Minecraft is going the way of the dodo. But it’s not the PS4 build, or even the PS3 or Vita versions – Windows Central cites its generally reliable anonymous sources for word that the axe has fallen on Minecraft for Windows Phone, one of Microsoft’s own platforms.

According to the report, Minecraft will remain available on the Windows Phone Store for the time being, but will no longer be updated – so no new features of bug fixes. You’re on your own, even as all other builds continue marching forward.

That said, this only applies to Windows Phone 8.1 or 10 Mobile, as opposed to mobile devices which use the more full-featured version of Windows 10 – so there is a mobile Windows path there if you can’t let go of Minecraft on the go.

Windows Phone is doing that poorly, huh?

Yep.  A co-worker of mine is such a Microsoft fangirl that she is now "forced" to go Android.  The horror!!!

I think barely anyone cares about it. Windows phones are sucking more than Xperia. Another win for Sony!

Probably not powerful enough. Or its because it has dual screen. Minecraft Wii U didnt even utilize the touch screen on the gamepad. 

3DS is not powerful enough.

Hmmm... this is the equivalent to booing your own kid in a soccer match.

lol, yeah. Android is pretty much where it's at if you don't want to be stuck in Apple's ecosystem.

Weren't the mobile versions barely ever updated anyway? My experience with the android version was that it felt so cut back and gimped that it was only worth fiddling with for a few minutes anyway.

Well, that's not much of an achievement, since Xperia phones are excellent.

The mobile versions are still being constantly updated. I think they're getting pretty close to the PC version actually.
