Minecraft has been a beloved game for many players, offering hours of creative freedom and adventure. For those who have been playing on the Xbox 360, there was only one default character option: Steve. But now, Mojang is introducing a new character skin to give players more options.

The update will include Alex, a female player-character with thinner arms, redder hair, and a ponytail. This new character will be available in every version of Minecraft, not just the Xbox 360 edition. In an interview on Mojang's official website, Owen Hill explained that Steve doesn't quite represent the diversity of their player base. He added that many players begin their Minecraft adventure with limited options when it comes to looks.

The update also includes new achievements for Xbox 360 users, adding 30 new accomplishments to the game. This brings the total number of achievable gamerscore up to a smooth 1000 on this console version.

For those who have already grown accustomed to playing as Steve, don't worry - you can still do so if you prefer. However, the option is now available for players to switch to Alex if they desire. Hill mentioned that everyone loves Steve, and he's probably the most famous minecrafter in the world, but it's great to have more options.

In addition to this exciting update, Mojang encourages all players to explore their new character options without letting them take over your playtime. There are still plenty of adventures to be had and achievements to earn.

With these changes, Minecraft on Xbox 360 is now even more inclusive and exciting for players of all kinds. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's never been a better time to jump back into the world of blocks and build.
