Minecraft is readily available for Windows 10. That said, not everyone can play it. Unfortunately, for the time being the title is only available for x64 CPUs, meaning that anyone rocking a x86 processor will not be able to download Minecraft from the Windows Store.

Since many of you simply cannot wait to install Microsoft's new OS, we feel as though you should be warned about potential issues down the road if you're a massive Minecraft fan. For those of you who have yet to download the title, you can grab it from Mojang or the Windows Store.

We're sure Microsoft will look to address this in a future beta build. Have you commenced digging in Minecraft for Windows 10? Let us know how you're getting on with your virtual cribs.
