Minecraft has reached its end of life on Apple TV. The game has been removed from the tvOS App Store through lack of sales, while existing owners of the near two-year-old title for Apple's set-top box are met with the following announcement upon launch: Effective from Monday, 24 September, the Apple TV version of Minecraft will no longer be updated or supported. We're grateful to the Apple TV community for their support but we need to reallocate resources to the platforms that our players use the most.

Don't worry though, you can continue to play Minecraft on Apple TV, keep building in your world and your Marketplace purchases (including Minecoins) will continue to be available.The Apple TV Edition of the wildly popular multi-platform construction game was at Apple's October 2016 keynote, where its potential for cross-platform play was enthusiastically promoted. 'You can build new worlds on your Apple TV, and play with your friends using iPhones and iPads,' said CEO Tim Cook. The game was officially two months later for $19.99, but despite the Minecraft franchise continuing to thrive on other platforms, it looks like the Apple TV version just didn't take off as Apple and developer Mojang had hoped.

The removal of the title appears to be the latest example of the video game industry's continuing lack of interest in the Apple TV, which ships with a touch-based remote rather than a dedicated game controller like typical game consoles do. RIP Minecraft on Apple TV. That didn't last long — Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) Initially, this meant developers were as the primary controller, despite the fact that the Apple TV also works with third-party Bluetooth controllers. Apple eventually the restriction following strong criticism, but other lingering issues like poor title discoverability on the App Store and a lack of game-oriented marketing or promotion for the Apple TV have hit the platform's gaming prospects hard. Mojang's Minecraft: Story Mode, an adventure game based in the Minecraft universe, will continue to be available on Apple TV, while the Microsoft subsidiary said that it would issue full refunds on all purchases of Minecraft: Apple TV Edition made in the last 90 days of the game's availability. Players seeking more information or wanting to check on the status of a refund are advised to contact or call 1-800-692-7753. I can barely use that slippery fish of a controller to navigate the blasted tv part of Apple TV.

I can’t imagine how people were going to use it for games, let alone Minecraft. Many of the kids I know who love Minecraft don’t have the fine motor skills necessary for smooth operation of that controller, either. I may be middle aged, but I can still game and I handle VR controllers just fine for medium paced games. Apple’s designs are beautiful but sometimes they don’t seem built for actual human beings to use. We play a lot of Minecraft on iPads in our household, and I purchased the Apple TV edition to play Minecraft Pocket Edition with my kids on the TV. The claim that the game was cancelled due to 'Lack of Players' is totally misleading. Mojang stopped updating Minecraft Apple TV edition a long time (~ 1 year) ago and since old versions of the client are not compatible, someone playing on the Apple TV edition could only play with someone on an outdated client.

It is entirely Mojang's fault for 1) Selling the game on Apple TV for what I would consider an exorbitant price (which I paid, mainly for my kids) and then 2) Stopping updates on the software with no communication whatsoever a a full year before they finally announce that they are pulling the plug. I will be very hesitant to spend any more money on any Mojang products in the future.
