Back in June 2023, during the FTC hearings, Phil Spencer was asked why Xbox had never published a native PS5 version of Minecraft. "Sony was reluctant to send us development kits for the PlayStation 5 at the same time they were sending them to other developers, which put us at a disadvantage relative to other developers," Spencer responded. "I think Sony could have sent the development kits to Microsoft just as easy as they sent them to any other publisher."

The new native PS5 version of Minecraft is "optimized to take advantage of the console’s more powerful hardware," according to the official announcement. "This means your game will have a greater render distance while still being 4k resolution and 60 fps, allowing you to take in even more frames and pixels while running from Endermen in the Overworld."
