Mojang, the Sweden-based developer of Minecraft, has been acquired by Microsoft for a fee said to be about $2.5 billion.
In a blog post to fans, Mojang suggested that this deal will not result in the deletion of Minecraft games and apps available on non-Microsoft devices.
"There's no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to stop," the studio wrote.
"Of course, Microsoft can't make decisions for other companies or predict the choices that they might make in the future.
We're extremely proud of all editions and the awesome things you have achieved through playing together."
