Written by Wesley LeBlanc
Developer Mojang has revealed that a native version of Minecraft is finally coming to PlayStation 5. It's currently in a testing phase, but if you own the PlayStation 4 version of the game for your PS5, you can take part in the preview right now.
Though Minecraft has been playable on PS5 for years, it's always been the PS4 version; this native version, however, is a new build of Minecraft made specifically for PS5, which means it will theoretically perform better on the console.
"Currently, however, the only way to play Minecraft on a PlayStation 5 is by purchasing the PlayStation 4 version of the game," the announcement reads. "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."
Though Mojang hasn't revealed how long the Minecraft PS5 version preview will last, all are welcome to take part in it, so long as they own the PS4 version of the game. To access it, go to "Settings" on your PS4 version of Minecraft while playing on a PS5 and select "Preview." This preview includes the new Tricky Trials update, so you can venture into the trial chambers, meet a breeze, craft a mace, and more.
Mojang asks that players who encounter bugs during this preview report it to the developer, and more generally, provide any feedback they might have.

Ahead Of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, The Entire Series Is On Sale For $10
Written by Wesley LeBlanc
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is shaping up to be one of our most anticipated RPGs of 2024 – find out why in Game Informer's Dragon Age: The Veilguard cover story – and if you're also excited about the game, you might be wondering if you should dig into the series' past. If you're thinking about a first-time playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, or your twelfth playthrough, Steam has you covered because you can purchase all three games for less than $10 right now.
Steam launched a Dragon Age franchise sale yesterday, with a 90% discount on all three games in the series. Here's the prices for each and the order to play them in if you want to start at the beginning:
- Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition (which includes the Awakening expansion): $2.99
- Dragon Age II: Ultimate Edition: $2.99
- Dragon Age Inquisition: $3.99
Ahead of Veilguard, which launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC sometime this fall, we highly recommend playing Inquisition as it ties directly into the new game. However, there will likely be appearances, cameos, and story ties from Origins and its sequel, too, so if you want to know everything you need to before jumping into Veilguard, this sale might be the way to go.
