Minecraft wants to keep entertaining players for more 15 years. The developers want the community to get involved in the process.
After completing its 15th birthday, Minecraft is already planning the next updates for the next year and beyond.
The Minecraft developers announced via a blog update on Sept. 9 that they'll change the way of releasing new content. So, instead of getting a free update during the summer, the developers will release a "number of free game drops throughout the year," which will vary in size and will bring more features to players explore on a regular basis. Here's a brief list of all new changes coming to Minecraft.
- More content updates throughout the year, following the logic of popular live service games.
- A native version of Minecraft for PlayStation 5
- A new format for Minecraft Live, which will happen twice a year, and no more mob vote.
What else is coming to Minecraft in the future?
Other than changing content flow, the developers are currently working on a native version of the game for PlayStation 5. Not only that, but they'll explore ways to improve the multiplayer experience and make it easier for players to connect with their friends.
Moving forward, Minecraft Live will also have a new format and there will be no more mob vote. The show no longer will be done yearly as the developers want a more "focused broadcast" twice a year. This means that Minecraft fans will get to know more about what is coming to the game in the future.

Minecraft players are welcome to give feedback
On top of these announcements, the Minecraft developers also made one request: more community participation. That's right. You can give feedback via the official Minecraft website.
"Your feedback doesn’t just help inspire what goes into the game, it also helps us iterate on features throughout development, too," the developers said. "When the armadillo first released into testing, a lot of our community reacted to the armadillo’s visual design and provided feedback on how they’d like to see it improved. The armadillo you see in the game today (with its eyes firmly on the side of its head, and not on the front!) was shaped by the community, and your feedback."
What do you make of these announcements? I, for instance, believe that Minecraft is on the right path to entertain players for another 15 years.
That's all for now. Stay tuned to esports.gg for more gaming news and updates.
