Minecraft Patch 1.20.60.23 Finally Adds 4K on Xbox Series X and S
Minecraft is finally playable in 4K on Xbox Series X and S after developer Mojang released a preview build of the upcoming 1.20.60.23 update.
The 1.20.60.23 update, out now in test form across Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Preview and Beta on Xbox, Windows PC, Android, and iOS, also adds the armadillo, winner of the Minecraft Live 2023's Mob Vote, and wolf armor.
“Meet the first iteration of the cautious armadillo, a neutral, savanna-dwelling mob that loves spider’s eyes, and rolls up whenever it feels threatened,” Minecraft community manager Jay Wells wrote in a blog post.
“Armadillos also drop a scute that can be used to craft wolf armor, which currently gives your four-legged friend roughly as much protection as diamond horse armor. Snazzy and safer.”
But it’s the rather innocuous patch note that simply notes “added 4k resolution support for Xbox Series consoles” that will be of particular interest to Xbox players.
Fans have called for 4K support in Minecraft on Xbox for years, and while this isn’t a full-on next-gen update for the eternally popular sandbox phenomenon, the addition of 4K on Series X and S is certainly a start. Perhaps it's the start of something bigger.
The HUD elements available are:
