Mojang has announced that it is working on a native PS5 version of Minecraft as the game celebrates its 15th anniversary.
Here’s what the company had to say on the game’s official website:
Right now, we’re also working on bringing a native version of Minecraft to the PlayStation®5 – because Minecraft is better when friends can play together on whichever device they want. Over the coming year, we’ll also be exploring ways to improve Minecraft’s multiplayer experience and make it easier to find and connect with friends.
Elsewhere, the studio also revealed that it will be offering more regular feature drops for Minecraft going forward. Rather than one free update released during the summer period, Mojang is now going to launch multiple free game drops spread across the year.
