What’s inside the Xbox version?

Workshop
You can share your safe-mode worlds and blueprints with other players. You can upload your creations right from the game or from any browser, in case you want to move them from PC.
We’ve also added the brand new feature, Workshop Browser for Xbox, which will help you with discovery and subscribing to the worlds and blueprints.
This was made possible by awesome cooperation with mod.io platform. Thank you guys!
