Looks Like Minecraft Will Get a Native PS5 Version Soon

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.

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.
