Our Take
Minecraft on PS5 is the sandbox survival and creative building game ported to Sony's current-generation console, supporting the Bedrock Edition which enables cross-play with other platforms. Aimed at players of virtually all ages, it sits in the budget-to-mid tier of the PS5 library and remains one of the best-selling games of all time for good reason.
Key Features
Bedrock Edition supports cross-platform multiplayer with PC, Xbox, and mobile players
PS5 version runs at up to 60fps with improved rendering distances over PS4
Creative Mode gives unlimited blocks and no survival mechanics for pure building
Survival Mode includes crafting, hunger, combat, and a progression system culminating in fighting the Ender Dragon
Marketplace provides paid community-made worlds, texture packs, and skin bundles
Supports split-screen local co-op for up to four players on one console
Our Verdict
A near-essential purchase for anyone in a household with children, or adults who enjoy creative or survival sandbox gameplay. Those after a graphically demanding PS5 showcase should look elsewhere, but for sheer longevity and replayability at a reasonable price, Minecraft remains exceptionally hard to argue against.
