The confirmation came from Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer, who blamed the fact that the Xbox One Edition was simply "a new product"."No, it's a new product on Xbox One," Spencer told OXM. "We're actually updating it in pretty significant ways for the new platform. Bigger worlds, which don't translate between the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One."Minecraft's Xbox 360 developer 4J Studios previously stated on Twitter that it was "discussing" the issue of save transfers with Microsoft. Until we hear otherwise, this appears to be the outcome of those discussions.4J Studios has confirmed that the Xbox 360 edition will continue to be updated after the Xbox One version is released, however.The Xbox One Edition will boast bigger worlds and expanded multiplayer support, Microsoft announced during its E3 press conference.
