Mojang has announced that it’s implementing a change in how it tackles free content updates for Minecraft going forward. In an update published on the game’s official website, the company has acknowledged fans’ 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.

“We know that you want new Minecraft content more often, which is why we’re changing our feature development rhythm,” the update reads. “Instead of providing one free update during the summer, as we’ve done in the past, we’ll 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.”

In addition to these smaller content drops coming over the course of the year, Mojang says it will, at the same time, also be “focusing on long-term initiatives to ensure we can continue to evolve Minecraft long into the future.”

Meanwhile, the company has also announced that it’s finally working on bringing a native version of Minecraft to PS5. Though the title has been natively available on Xbox Series X/S since Microsoft’s current console generation kicked off, PS5 players have continued to play the game’s PS4 version via backward compatibility.

Additionally, Mojang is also working on further multiplayer improvements for the game.

“Right now, we’re also working on bringing a native version of Minecraft to the PlayStation 5 – because Minecraft is better when friends can play together on whichever device they want,” the company writes. “Over the coming year, we’ll also be exploring ways to improve Minecraft’s multiplayer experience and make it easier to find and connect with friends.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks and months.
