Hullo there! I’m Marsh from Mojang – we make Minecraft along with our chums at 4J Studios! We’ve got a pretty swish update soaring onto PlayStation today, bringing with it a free, all new Mini Game. It’s called Glide and it’s designed to test your aeronautical skills to the very limit. Strap on a pair of elytra “wings” (technically elytra aren’t wings, but the parts of a beetle’s shell which enclose the wings – actual fact!) and hone your swooping skills on an exhilarating aerial track – the first in a series of free and paid tracks to be released.

Beat the clock in the Time Attack mode, using thermal drafts and speed boosters to your advantage, or go for points in Score Attack by hitting all the hoops. Careful study may reveal sneaky shortcuts to refine your runs, so keep your eyes peeled! You can choose to beat your personal best in solo play, compete with up to 15 players at once or take a swing at the all new PS4 leaderboards. This update boosts the number of possible Battle players to 16 on PS4 and introduces a more spacious lobby to accommodate them all.



Glide has pretty much taken over the Mojang office – if you’re anything like us, you’ll be quickly fixated on taking down your friends scores, eking out every precious second from the course. Look out for more maps in the near future – some free, some as part of a Season Pass. You can get a glimpse of these at the end of the trailer.

And that’s not all! As you strive to beat the clock or the competition, we want you to look like the champions you are – so we’re releasing the Mini Game Masters Skin Pack today as well, featuring sporting skins fitting for any would-be winner. Whether you’re a beast of Battle, a titan of Tumble or a god at Glide, we have the streamlined spandex for you. Prepare to out-style AND out-play your competitors! As always, a handful of these skins are free – so check them out and see if the knee-pads are a good fit.



More of a team player? Then perhaps the Power Rangers Skin Pack will interest you. Also popping up for purchase with this update, this skin pack lets you assemble Saban’s classic squad of heroic protectors, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and/or pose as their outlandish foes. Go Go!

What a lot of stuff! We hope you enjoy it all. Just don’t beat my score.
