Slammed with complaints over how it failed to warn gamers that the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft wonât run in splitscreen for all customers, Microsoft is revising its listing for the game and offering a refund to customers who paid for a game that didnât work the way they expected it to.
Microsoft is the publisher for the download-only game.
While split-screen is one of the coolest things about the Xbox 360 versionâyou can can enjoy crafting alongside their friends via local split-screen multiplayerâit hadnât been clear on Microsoftâs digital Xbox storefront until now that the option wasnât available to everyone who bought the $20 game. You could only activate split-screen if you had an HDTV with an HDMI inputâstandard-definition gamers were unable to take advantage of one of the gameâs best features.
The HD requirement wasnât listed in on the gameâs Xbox marketplace page, leading many gamers to buy the game hoping to play with their friends only to find that they were unable to. Some got refunds, but others did not.

Indeed, checking the Xbox Live product page reveals an updated description ending with the notification that âTo experience split-screen functionality a high-definition television is required.â
Good on ya, Microsoft.
