Minecraft has been around for quite a few years now. You might be surprised to learn that the game just hit its fifteenth year in the marketplace. From its initial release, developers have carefully expanded this blocky world in new, incredible, and interactive ways. However, today, we’re getting confirmation that a PlayStation 5 version of the game is in the works, along with new content drops.
Minecraft’s official website released a new blog post that showed players what to expect from this game in a few breakdowns. As mentioned, the developers have confirmed that they are working on a native release for Minecraft on the PlayStation 5 platform. However, there wasn’t any mention as to when players might be able to see this version of the game release, so we’ll need to keep our eyes open for a release date announcement.
But those who enjoy the game on other platforms should see even more Minecraft content coming your way. The developers have heard players’ pleas for more content. So, instead of bringing out one big content drop in the summer, they are now set to release new free content drops throughout the year. The post confirms that these game drops will be varied in size, but ultimately, the goal is to bring more content into the game regularly for players to enjoy.
Minecraft Live is also getting a new setup. The developers had confirmed that they will be retiring the mob vote. Likewise, instead of one showcase per year, the new format will happen twice a year, and the broadcast will unveil what features are being worked on. Players are also encouraged to send in feedback. Developers are constantly monitoring the feedback and making adjustments to the game. An example given was the inclusion of cherry groves that came to fruition from one community member asking for its addition during the Trails & Tales Update. So, your voices are heard as long as you express what features or changes developers should take note of.
Since its release, Minecraft has had a strong following. However, the official live-action Minecraft movie might persuade some players to give the game another go or pick it up for the first time.
