The Minecraft Steve release date for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is October 13. That means you’ve got to wait just over a week until Tuesday, October 13 to get access to Challenger Pack 7. Of course, you can already purchase the Fighter Pass 2 pack which will ensue the new character immediately unlocks when the DLC drops.
Steve – along with his alternate Alex, Zombie, and Enderman skins – was shown off during a special broadcast by Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai this weekend. Interested to know more about how the character works? We’ve broken down his moveset for you here.

Now that you know when Steve arrives in Smash Ultimate, you’ll need to know how much he’ll cost as well. Minecraft Steve arrives in a new Challenger Pass, available for $5.99 (£5.39). That’ll net you both the character and the Minecraft Stage. Alternatively, you can pick up Fighter Pass 2 for $29.99 (£26.99). That’ll score you all the DLC characters in Fighter Pass 2 as soon as they’re revealed. So far that just includes Min Min and Steve, but there are a total of six coming, so you can expect four more over the coming year or so.
