Minecraft Xbox 360 Update: TU12 Release Date Delayed By Bug Fixing? 4J Studios Awaits Certification Test

4J Studios announced on Friday that it is still bug fixing its TU12 update and awaits a certification test, prompting speculation the game might encounter a delayed release date. 

Last week, the developer announced they finished developing Skin Pack 5 for Title Update 12 (TU12), pointing to a release date for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition that could have been days away, but the company's update might mean gamers might have to wait a few more weeks. 

Once the update enters Microsoft Certification testing, it will take at least one week, possibly two, before it is released for everyone to download via Xbox LIVE, Examiner reports.

4J Studios announced that game coding changes made to address software architectural differences between Microsoft and PC might have produced a delayed release date.

"We're still working on TU12- there are lots of software architecture changes needed for this update. Thanks for your continued patience," 4J Studios posted on Twitter earlier this month.

Xbox 360 editions of Minecraft have sold over 7 million copies around the world, according to a tweet posted by 4J Studios earlier this month, bringing hope to Xbox One enthusiasts looking for a copy on the next-generation console.
