How to visit Universal Studios Hollywood in Minecraft

Minecraft is joining forces with Universal Studios to end 2023 with a themed event, leading to weekly discounted DLCs featuring popular studio franchises, including Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon, and Jurassic World. However, that's only the beginning, as Mojang is also offering a virtual tour of Universal Studios Hollywood within Bedrock Edition.

In the faithfully recreated park, you can roam about the premises and enjoy attractions themed after the likes of Shrek, Jaws, Jurassic World, and more. You can even find some of Universal/Dreamworks' iconic characters enjoying their time in the park. However, this event is only taking place for a limited time, so you will have to be quick to enjoy the virtual tour.
