The MCC Party duration will be from July 22 at 10 a.m. PST/7 p.m. CET to Aug. 4 at 3 p.m. PST/12 a.m. CET (Aug. 5). Instead of watching others play the MCC mini-games, you’ll get the chance to experience them yourself. Crafters can participate in notable modes like Ace Race, Sands of Time, and Meltdown to earn in-game currency.
