Minecraft Preview is now available for PlayStation 4: Here's how you can play it

Minecraft is regularly updated with new features, such as mobs and items, and the game is getting a major overhaul with the upcoming Minecraft 1.21 update. The only issue here is that not all players can get access to the experimental features before they are officially added to the game. These beta features are limited to the ‘Preview’ version of the game. For years, the preview version of the game was restricted to PC and Xbox, but this isn't true anymore.

Mojang Studios has officially announced that Minecraft Preview is now available for PlayStation 4 players. As of now, the experimental version of the game is rolling out in different regions. If it is unavailable in your region, you might have to wait for some time.

The preview version of the game brings a lot of beta or experimental features. These features are actively developed, which means that players are expected tot est new features. This also means that this edition of the game is sometimes unstable.

Since the preview version of Minecraft can be unstable or buggy, Mojang Studios offers it as a separate game that can be downloaded from PlayStation’s official game store.

To download the game, all you need to do is head over to the PlayStation game store and search for Minecraft. The search result should show two or three versions of the game. Get the Preview version and install it on your console. That’s all you need to do to start trying out the upcoming features, such as trial chambers.
