Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.
Microsoft is reportedly in talks to acquire Mojang, the studio behind Minecraft.
According to Bloomberg, citing three sources, the deal is set to be worth $2-billion and could close as soon as this week.
The deal, if signed, would be the biggest acquisition since Satya Nadella took over as Microsoft CEO, although the Nokia acquisition was still the bigger deal (close to $7-billion).
Bloomberg claimed that the talks came about after Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson reached out to Microsoft.
If signed, Persson would reportedly stay on through the transition but could exit the company shortly thereafter.
The deal would also allow Microsoft to leverage Minecraft for expansion into toys, movies and other merchandising.
