Minecraft Xbox One & PS4: 4J Studios Teases Horses & Render Distance

June 30, 2014 by Stephen Daly

Could these horse statues be pointing to their inclusion in the game?

4J Studios has revealed an image of two giants horse statues in Minecraft, possibly suggesting they'll be added sooner than expected. 

It could be the case that horses are being readied for inclusion in the game on the same day as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft are released in August. 

The statues in question were inspired by Andrew Scott's The Kelpies and 4J posted the image on their Twitter account:

As 4J mentions, the new versions of the game will feature a much improved render distance over last-gen consoles. 

We've also seen the first image of a saves from the Xbox 360 version of the game being imported to the Xbox One Edition. 

You can find out more about the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft, which will features worlds some 36 times larger than the ones seen in the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions, here. Mojang has recently announced that sales of the console versions of Minecraft have exceeded PC and Mac sales of the game. 

In all, 54 million copies of the game have been sold and the mobile version remains the most popular.
