Mojang announced it is increasing the price of Minecraft on Windows PC in some regions. The price for the console and Pocket Editions remain unchanged.
"If you haven’t bought Minecraft yet, it might be worth purchasing in the next week if your pocket money allowance isn’t aligned with the United States Dollar. You could end up saving yourself a pretty penny," said Mojang's Owen Hill.
"You may notice that some regions don’t have an old price listed below. That’s because Minecraft hasn’t been on sale in that currency yet. Welcome to the fold, Japan, Korea, and Brazil."
