You can also use the Steam method we showed you for setting up your PS4 controller, but that’s entirely up to you. You can even use the Steam program to set up more controllers than one. So, for example, if you have a PS4 controller and an Xbox controller, Steam lets you use both when playing Minecraft Bedrock.
Since Microsoft owns both Minecraft and Xbox, there’s another way to do it. If you want to play Microsoft Bedrock on a PC with your Xbox controller, you’ll want to download the game from the Xbox app, which you’ll get at the Microsoft Store. Every Windows computer should have a Microsoft Store, so you won’t need to download it.
Is Minecraft Bedrock on PS4
Minecraft Bedrock is available on PS4 and was released on December 10, 2019. Sony even came out with an official launch trailer for Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, opening the doors to a whole new fun and enjoyment. You can choose to play between classic survival mode or multiplayer mode which supports cross-platform between all supported devices.
Minecraft Java Edition is unfortunately not available on PS4 and can only be purchased via the Minecraft website. PC users can choose between two editions: Windows 10 (Bedrock) Edition and Java Edition. Both versions differ in some ways and the Java Edition offers the original Minecraft experience and offers cross-platform play between Windows, Linux and macOS. It also supports user-created skins and mods with regular updates.
Life under Microsoft
Mojang clarifies that Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition are two separate games in one deal. Each version has its pros and cons, and this combination doesn’t change that. It’s simply giving players the opportunity to own both in one more affordable package. Modders will still have the Java Edition to tinker with, while console and mobile cross-play are still only supported in the Bedrock Edition. Both games will be accessible through a single launcher. Ultimately, this may convince Java gamers to give Bedrock a try or vice versa.
Since 2014, both Minecraft and Mojang Studios have worked with Xbox Game Studios. Microsoft and Mojang have expanded the Minecraft brand by creating spin-offs such as Story Mode, Dungeons and Earth. Meanwhile, Mojang has been working on other non-Minecraft projects such as Caller’s Bane, a trading card game, and Crown and Council, a turn-based strategy game.
