Minecraft is one of the most popular games of recent years, a title focused on exploration and construction that still receives new updates and versions with several new features years after its launch. An infinite world full of possibilities awaits you in this Mojang's game, either in the Creative mode (with no limits for obtaining materials and construction) or in the Survival mode, more challenging and focused on the adventure and its story.
It has a version for PC and consoles (Java) and another for mobile devices (Bedrock). Here's how you can download it on Android step by step.
