Minecraft on Playstation 5?

Hi

Will Minecraft ever run well on Playstation 5? Because the game just looks pixelated on the Playstation 5. On the Xbox Series X it looks sooo much better, especially because the Xbox Series X supports ray tracing from AMD. Will the PLaystation in general and in Minecraft ever support AMD ray tracing?

No, don't

Will Minecraft ever run well on Playstation 5?

No. How so? Simply because Minecraft on the Playstation platforms is still being developed by 4J Studios. On the other platforms, the Xbox Game Studios Team Mojang is the developer of Minecraft, which is why the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X also offer better gaming performance in Minecraft and also DirecxtX ray tracing from AMD and Microsoft.

Will the Playstation in general and in Minecraft ever support AMD ray tracing?

DirectX Raytracing is exclusive to Xbox Series consoles and AMD graphics cards. Playstation consoles are in principle excluded from this, as Sony only relies on the hardware and not on the software from AMD.

For Minecraft I would recommend the Xbox Series X or a gaming PC (where you can also install mods)

I think he's talking about the Bedrock version. The legacy version (4J studios) is no longer played by anyone…

Well Minecraft (Bedrock) does not yet have a next gen version, or has not yet been optimized for it. That's why the game runs as a PS4 or Xbox One version on the next gen consoles and therefore not so well. You have to wait until the game is either optimized (this means that a Minecraft version will be released that will only run on PS5 and Xbox Series, and are priced free for buyers who own the last version - just like Forza Horizon 4, Halo MCC or Ark) or that a standalone next gen version will come out. (Something you know from GTA V, only this time it says whether the game is free if you have the load capacity of Minecraft or whether it then - like GTA from 360 to One - also costs, which I rather doubt)

Then there's also to be noted that Minecraft does not allow ray tracing on the Xbox Series. - yes, the Xbox is very powerful and supports ray tracing in more and more games but this is not possible in Minecraft. - the reason: first of all it is the Xbox One version, and the Xbox One is unfortunately too weak to use proper ray tracing.

Yes in Minecraft there are two options to activate ray tracing in the graphics settings, but these settings are not intended for the Xbox. You can also find the 2 switches in the mobile version, Nintendo Switch version, and on the Playstation 4 version. The switches are actually there for the Windows 10 version, as currently only the Windows version can also activate ray tracing, and only if you have a compatible Nvidia graphics card installed. I tried out the ray tracing myself, I have Minecraft for Windows 10, mobile phone, Xbox One X and Series S, my flatmate has a PC with a compatible Nvidia graphics card - I was able to use this texture package, which I got from MCPEdl had to use, real ray tracing was shown, but with my Lappy without a graphics card, on my mobile phone, and even on the One and Series S the game was not allowed. I couldn't turn on the ray tracing functions in Minecraft on the Xbox. It is also clear, because Minecraft only allows ray tracing with a built-in Nvidia graphics card, but the Xbox Series has one from AMD. Therefore, ray tracing is currently not possible on the series. You can't even download the ray tracing packages from the Minecraft Marketplace. Only if you have an Nvidia graphics card. With my Lappy in the win 10 version of Minecraft, the packs are displayed, but I can't download them. With PS Xbox and other systems, the packs are not even displayed in the Marketplace.

In the case of the PS5, the PS4 version of Minecraft does not work either, but unfortunately I can't answer whether the PS5 will raytracing for Minecraft at all.

Sorry that I had to write half a novel for you now, but I wanted to describe it as understandably as possible how the level of ray tracing with minecraft is on next gen consoles.

I hope that Minecraft will be raytracing-capable for the Xbox Series X | S very soon, until then I can enjoy other good games on the Xbox.

I'm also talking about the Bedrock version. To the best of my knowledge, 4J Studios is still responsible for the Playstation version.

I just wanted to say that Bedrock is developed by Mojang himself. 4J studios only developed the legacy edition, whose title is officially "Minecraft Xbox 360, One, PS3, PS4, PSVita, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Wii U Edition". And according to the https://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/..._4_Edition, the development of the Playstation 4 Edition was even stopped when the Bedrock version was released.

Please note that the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 consoles have 2 different Minecraft games. Yes two. Once the Legacy edition, which was developed by 4J studios and Mojang and once the bedrock edition, which is only developed by Mojang.

Strictly speaking, with the exception of minor patches, 4J studios doesn't do anything with Minecraft Legacy anymore.

Just wanted to make it clear that no misunderstandings arise.

This nonsense with 2 times Minecraft on one console can get confused really quickly, you understand? 😅

I know there are two versions.

The Legeacy version, as you call it, was standard for the Playstation for a long time after the release of the Bedrock Edition, as Sony shot against Bedrock and Crossplay. There was no Bedrock Edition for about a year because Sony has to behave childishly again.

And when the time came, well. The Bedrock version on the Playstation does not run particularly smoothly, it hangs, has problems logging in and nothing has changed in terms of performance in Minecraft on the Ps4. Those are the consequences of playing on such a platform (Sony Playstation).

Even you Nintendo Switch runs much better on me and above all without any problems. And it is one of the weakest consoles currently.

I simply recommend everyone who wants to play Minecraft not to play Minecraft on a Playstation. The versions of Xbox, Switch & Windows 10 are just better and offer more options. (And are also safer.) Of course, the Java Edition is the best edition for playing Minecraft, but come on, not everyone wants to play games on a PC, as many things are much more complicated

You're right. However, I have to agree that Minecraft on my One X and Series S seriously synchronizes my purchased content such as TP or Skins 3 damn times every time I start it. 3 TIMES.

that takes up to 5 minutes, and I don't know what the hell is going wrong.

The Bedrock editions syncronize very quickly on my Lappy or smartphone. It annoys me every time that the Xbox version takes so damn long.

Fortunately, I've already unlocked all the successes for the Xbox version, so I can spend more time on the Win 10 version. - well, almost, the Android and win 10 version I almost got through… 😅😂
