Mojang says it will be releasing “a number of free game drops throughout the year” going forward as it looks to deliver content with greater frequency.
Mojang has announced that itâs implementing a change in how it tackles free content updates for Minecraft going forward. In an update published on the gameâs official website, the company has acknowledged fansâ demands for more frequent content drops, as a result of which it will be releasing multiple free content drops for the game throughout the year going forward.
âWe know that you want new Minecraft content more often, which is why weâre changing our feature development rhythm,â the update reads. âInstead of providing one free update during the summer, as weâve done in the past, weâll now be releasing a number of free game drops throughout the year. These game drops will vary in size and will bring you features to explore more frequently.â
In addition to these smaller content drops coming over the course of the year, Mojang says it will, at the same time, also be âfocusing on long-term initiatives to ensure we can continue to evolve Minecraft long into the future.â
Meanwhile, the company has also announced that itâs finally working on bringing a native version of Minecraft to PS5. Though the title has been natively available on Xbox Series X/S since Microsoftâs current console generation kicked off, PS5 players have continued to play the gameâs PS4 version via backward compatibility.
Additionally, Mojang is also working on further multiplayer improvements for the game.
âRight now, weâre also working on bringing a native version of Minecraft to the PlayStation 5 â because Minecraft is better when friends can play together on whichever device they want,â the company writes. âOver the coming year, weâll also be exploring ways to improve Minecraftâs multiplayer experience and make it easier to find and connect with friends.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks and months.
