Those that want to participate in the beta version of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition can jump in for a discounted $10 entry fee.

The game will allow for eight-player local and online play, which can be played with either Windows 10 Edition players or Pocket Edition players (via a future update). While Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition will share many features with current versions of Minecraft, Mojang points out in the announcement post that it will include a slew of extras, some of which are pulled from the mobile Minecraft: Pocket Edition. In addition to Telltale unveiling the first trailer for Minecraft: Story Mode, Mojang has pulled the curtain back on the Windows 10 version of Minecraft, simply titled Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. It's been a big weekend for Minecraft already.
