Minecraft PS5 Upgrade Preorders Now Available
Mojang is preparing to enhance Minecraft for the PS5, taking full advantage of the console’s processing power to enable gameplay in stunning 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. The physical version of Minecraft for PS5 is now available for preorder ahead of its release on October 22, and it includes an exciting bonus.
Physical Edition Pricing and Bonus Content
The physical version of Minecraft for PS5 is priced at $30 and comes bundled with 3,500 tokens. These tokens can be used to purchase additional content from the Minecraft Marketplace, such as texture packs, worlds, and more. Considering that 3,500 tokens typically cost $20, players essentially get Minecraft on PS5 for just $10. Preordering from Best Buy even offers a $5 gift card incentive.
Mojang has confirmed that this version of Minecraft is compatible with all Bedrock versions, enabling crossplay with friends on other platforms.
Cost-Effective Option for New Players
For new players, this is the most cost-effective way to acquire Minecraft on the PS5, especially if you anticipate spending in-game currency. Existing PS4 owners of Minecraft will receive a free digital PS5 upgrade.
Upcoming Game Updates and Changes
Mojang has announced revisions to the content roadmap for the game, promising multiple free updates throughout the year and discontinuing the Mob vote. This makes it an exciting time for newcomers to dive into the sandbox game.
Exciting Developments in the Minecraft Universe
Minecraft remains the top-selling game of all time, with an upcoming film adaptation scheduled for release on April 4, 2025. While awaiting the movie’s premiere, fans can immerse themselves in various official Minecraft novels and graphic novels, particularly appealing to younger audiences.
