After purchasing its creator Mojang last year, Microsoft extended the game to its virtual-reality headset HoloLens as well.
However, the game has been optimized for Windows 10. A report on Cnet notes that Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta includes seamless swapping between touchscreen, controller or keyboard/mouse controls, Xbox Live and Minecraft Pocket Edition online play, and record/share support for built-in GameDVR functions.
The company is also said to be bringing the classic Solitaire and Candy Crush as in-built games with the new OS.
For the existing Minecraft PC owners, the game will be free, while it will cost $10 for others.
