The developer of Minecraft, Mojang, has published a native PlayStation 5 version in preview form for fans to play. The game is available to play in the testing phase if you already own the PS4 version of the game.
Higher render distance and anti-aliasing settings—which are already included in Minecraft on Xbox Series X and S—as well as native support for 4K resolution are added to the PS5 version of the game but sadly no Ray Tracing. The game has been developed to take complete advantage of PS5’s hardware, though it hardly takes any horsepower when compared to AAA titles.
The latest Tricky Trials update is included in this preview, although multiplayer is limited to PlayStation 4 and 5 users. Playing the preview on Realms, which enables cross-play with players on other devices, is the exception to this rule.
“Currently, however, the only way to play Minecraft on a PlayStation®5 is by purchasing the PlayStation®4 version of the game. By developing a native version of Minecraft for PS5® we’ll be able to make the game run more effectively on the PS5®’s hardware. So you can lose your inventory in lava in the smoothest possible way! ” reads their official statement.
According to the blog post, PS5 Preview will start to roll out at 9:30 am Pacific Time / 6:30 pm CET. Please note that it may take a few hours for you to see it enabled on your device.
