Mojang has officially released a native edition of Minecraft for the PS5, allowing the game to now deliver 4K visuals at 60fps on Sony's console. Previously, PS5 users were limited to playing the PS4 version of the sandbox game. The Minecraft blog highlights that the PS5 edition also boasts an increased "greater render distance," which is particularly beneficial on higher difficulty settings. This new native version for PS5 is available as a free upgrade for those who already own Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on PS4.
The announcement of a native PS5 version of Minecraft came last month as part of the game's 15th-anniversary celebrations. Alongside this release, Mojang introduced the Bundles of Bravery drop, which includes a Hardcore mode. In this mode, players have the option to disable respawning for an even more challenging experience. Additionally, there is a physical edition of Minecraft for PS5 that includes 3,500 tokens, equivalent to $20 of in-game currency, which can be used for various in-game purchases such as texture packs and worlds.
Minecraft on PS5 is priced at $20 digitally and supports cross-play with all other versions of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. For those seeking guidance, GameSpot's Minecraft guides hub offers valuable tips for both building and surviving in the sandbox game. In other news, a Minecraft movie featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa is set to hit theaters next year. Last month, the first trailer was released, giving fans a glimpse of how the blocky game world will be adapted into a live-action film.
