4J Studios announced on Wednesday that they have finished developing Skin Pack 5 for Title Update 12 (TU12), pointing to a release date for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition that might be days away.

4J Studios also provided an update on Monday to the status of TU12 that supports the idea the game might be in the hands of users by the end of July.

"We're bug-fixing TU12 at the moment. Lots more bugs to fix," 4J Studios announced on Monday.

"We'll let you know when it goes to Microsoft Cert test. We'll post a change list for TU12 once we put it into Microsoft Certification testing."

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 also reports.

Last week, 4J Studios announced that game coding changes made to address software architectural differences between Microsoft and PC might have produced a delayed release date, but not it seems otherwise.

"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 last week.

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.
