Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs to release tomorrow for Android, other devices

Minecraft Pocket Edition has become one of the go-to ways for Minecraft players to play the game. It's by far the most convenient method, since it can be taken anywhere and easily accessed.

It's also the cheapest, usually costing less than $10 USD. For Android users, the APK download file will be available tomorrow.

APK files, which stand for Android Package Kit, are the standard for Android apps. The release of the update file simply means that it will be available for players to download. After that, they'll have full access to the Caves & Cliffs update with their Minecraft Pocket Edition.

The download file will reportedly be released at 10.00am PT tomorrow. Whatever time that translates to in local time, the APK file should be available on the Google Play Store or any other location that players get their apps from.

It shouldn't take very long for the app to update. In fact, depending on when players get on to play, the app may be automatically updated (if the device has that capability and the settings enabled).

Tomorrow, all devices, including mobile, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC and Windows, will receive the long-awaited second half of the Caves & Cliffs update. Servers may be slower due to the amount of increased traffic when the update initially releases.
