After digging up some fresh evidence, Minecraft fans are getting excited about what appears to be a proper PS5 port of the sandbox-'em-up.
The PS4 edition of Minecraft is of course playable on PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility, but it's a rickety old version at this point. The Xbox version was updated at the end of last year with 4K support, so players are hoping for similar treatment with a native PS5 port.
This story stems from Reddit user the_andshrew, who's discovered what looks like a PS5 version of Minecraft on the PS Store's backend. They list several title ID numbers and an image that's no doubt the icon art from the Store page.
In addition, PlayStation Game Size, an account that closely follows the movements of the PS Store, has confirmed it in typically concise form:
So, it would seem this is happening, we just need the official word from Mojang now. Hopefully it isn't too far away, but given it's on the PS Store in some form, it shouldn't be. Would you like to see a PS5 version of Minecraft? Dig your way to the comments section below.

I will wait for PS5 Pro to properly experience its high fidelity graphics
Can’t wait to see some showcase waste time on this instead of something new!
Fingers crossed for free PS5 upgrade, DOF, ray tracing, volumetric lighting and PSVR2 mode being included.
If you ever feel useless, just remember that there's gonna be a native ps5 version of Minecraft.
Sounds good to me, even just for having better load times
Cyube VR anyone? I know they are different game. Both are fun.
Hopefully free upgrade and auto pop trophies.
Just......why? Given the platforms it's already on, seems utterly pointless.
And it will sell millions.
PSVR2 version please! Even if it still just the Dualsense controller, please let me have those colors and the clarity of the PSVR2.
PS VR2 would be awesome!
@Gigawatt-Kapow yes please. Improved lighting makes it look like a whole new game.
@sanderson72 Load times and draw distance are molasses on some consoles. I doubt it's going to improve, but the game doesn't run great for having such simple graphics.
@Octane yeah the draw distance in Minecraft isn't that far actually. Well the landscape goes on for ages but the details vanish from not too far a distance. Even say being able to see your stuff fully from the top of a mountain would be a big improvement, at least for me.
I'd buy it.
Let us know when it comes out!
Surprised we haven't seen more of this. Was expecting a native Rocket League at some point.
@Balosi Yeah, I sometimes play a bit of survival for fun, but the point of building something big is completely pointless when you can't use it as a vantage point.
Still one of the most succesfull franchises. So it isn’t THAT pointless!
@Jaz007 I’d prefer most of the PSVR2 games to support regular controller use. Don’t feel like waving my arms around at the end of my day. Mostly care about visual immersion more than anything
I highly doubt it will be a free upgrade.
The PS3/Vita > PS4 wasnt a free upgrade and that predates Microsoft buying Mojang.
But I am hoping PSVR2 support. Im still waiting for a Native Quest port without having to resort to using a mod. But a PSVR2 port would be a sort of compromise (for me at least)
I have zero interest in a non VR version at this stage
I'm hoping this will somehow fix the completely broken DLC we wasted money on recently. Looking at you, Path of the Jedi and Universal Studios.
