On 5 January 2021, developer Mojang Studios announced that they were releasing the final build of Minecraft Earth, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as a factor. As a social, augmented reality title, the game works almost similar to how Pokemon GO functions. Later it was released globally on December 11, 2019. Minecraft Earths initial beta is limited to a select pool of registered beta participants, randomly selected among those in five eligible cities, and using iOS-based devices. Minecraft Earth is developed by Microsoft, having made its debut on iOS and Android on October 17, 2019, as an early access title for Iceland and New Zealand.

Afterward, on July 1, any player data unrelated to Character Creator and Minecoin will also be deleted. In August 2019, the beta participants are limited to compatible iOS.
