Minecraft Legends has released its first update, which includes improvements to matchmaking, performance and stability, and localization. The update allows players to team up with friends in matchmaking and reduces the starting timer for faster gameplay. The update also fixes several crashes, spawn issues, and audio issues, as well as improving input latency and loading speed. Localization improvements have been made for Arabic, Hebrew, and Japanese languages.
The Minecraft Legends team encourages players to provide feedback and report bugs for continuous improvement. Players can do so through the bugs.mojang.com link. Updates and news on upcoming content can be found on Minecraft.net and @legends_game, while players can discuss strategies and make new allies on aka.ms/LegendsDiscord. The game has already reached over 3 million players in less than two weeks since its launch.
