Gaming News No, PS5 Minecraft players are not forgotten: a very nice surprise is in preparation, they will have Microsoft to thank
While a native PS5 version of Minecraft is slowly becoming overdue, according to this latest information, changes are on the horizon.
Is Minecraft current-gen coming soon?
Xbox Series and PS5 players have been waiting for a native version of Minecraft. If the Xbox version of the software has recently received an update to support 4K, the game will be entirely based on the version from the previous generation of consoles. The same also applies to the PS5, while the software is only accessible on the latest Playstation via backwards compatibility with the PS4 version. A frustrating situation, but one that could change.
Accordingly VGC, which cites Playstation Game Size, a native PS5 version of Minecraft would be in the works. This information should be taken with caution as there is no official confirmation from Sony, Mojang or Microsoft. However, Playstation Game Size relies on the backend of the Playstation Store to collect its information. So there is something concrete behind this announcement, even if we still have to wait until we know more.
The most beautiful version of Minecraft
There are a lot of expectations attached to these current-gen versions of Minecraft, and for good reason: technically, the console version of the title lags behind the PC version. For several years there has also been speculation about the existence of a current-gen version of the software. Last year, an Xbox Series version of Minecraft fell under the ESRB classification, but Microsoft clarified to VGC that this classification in no way reflects the studio’s plans. Besides that, The giant has been announcing the introduction of an improved version of Minecraft since 2020, with support for ray tracing. We therefore inevitably expect to hear about it soon. It remains to be seen when this current-gen version will finally be available.
