PS5 Preview Option and Mojang’s Confirmation on Minecraft PS5 Version Development

While many fans were excited about the new Tricky Trials update, some players spotted a new PlayStation 5 Preview button in the game’s settings.

Now, Mojang Studios has also confirmed that they are testing Minecraft on PlayStation 5, clearing up rumors that started with a PlayStation 5 Preview button. And the gaming community is evidently excited about this news.

This preview button is meant to let players try out new Minecraft features and give feedback to the Mojang team. They are collecting feedback and improving the Minecraft game for a native PS5 version, which they plan to release later this year.

This new version will have the same updates as the one that came out for Xbox Series X|S last year.

Talking about the new version, Mojang studio said, “Mojang has begun testing Minecraft on PlayStation 5, paving the way for a native PS5 version to be released later this year.” This PS5 version of the game is currently in experimental mode so the team can continue to make improvements and listen to community feedback over the next few months.”
