Microsoft-backed Mojang Studios recently released a new DLC, Planet Earth III, for the popular sandbox game series Minecraft. You can get it for free from the Minecraft Marketplace today.
The DLC lets you live as a hunter or the hunted. There are at least five immersive scenes of this dynamic, which transport you to the dangerous coast of South Africa, as a nimble fur seal evades a great white shark. You can also rescue your musk ox from a desperate pack of wolves in the frigid Canadian tundra.
In addition to gameplay, there is also a BBC Planet Earth field station where you can learn interesting facts about the animals you play as and earn rewards for completing challenges. However, you can download it for free from Minecraft Education or Minecraft Marketplace for Bedrock Edition.
Last year, the popular game series reached its 300 million sales milestone, just 15 years after its original release. The achievement was celebrated during the annual Minecraft Live 2023 event, where the developer shares news and updates about the game.
Minecraft is available on Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.
