PlayStation 5 finally has the original Minecraft version

Minecraft, the hugely popular blocky 3D world exploration game owned by Microsoft, is now available on almost every major gaming hardware platform - except PlayStation 5. PS5 gamers past and present Still have to use the same Minecraft game version with the PS4 model through backward compatibility.

However, after a long wait and countless rumors, Microsoft and Minecraft developer Mojang have finally confirmed that the original version of this popular sandbox game is being developed for PlayStation 5. Before release fully, the developer wants to test and gather feedback from users through a special 'preview' release.

The PS5 version of Minecraft is rumored to contain many upgrades compared to previously released versions, such as adding support for 4K resolution and Ray Tracing.

To participate in the test, PlayStation 5 players running the PlayStation 4 version of Minecraft will be able to find the "Preview" option in the Settings menu, click on it and follow the instructions. The Minecraft PlayStation 5 preview will start rolling out today, June 21, but it will take a few hours for everyone to have access.

Developer Mojang hopes: "By developing the original version of Minecraft for PS5, we will be able to make the game run more efficiently on the PlayStation system." As for the features that will be available, most players experiencing the early preview will have a limited experience, but Realms will still allow cross-play with other devices, as long as they have a subscription. Furthermore, the Minecraft Store will not be available until the full release.

Although it was released a long time ago and has simple graphics, Minecraft is still one of the attractive games for families and children because the game is available on all platforms and has simple gameplay that encourages Gamers unleash their creativity.
