Minecraft — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
The native PS5 edition of Minecraft, released in late 2024, is a clear step up from the last-gen build: 4K output, a 60fps target, faster world loading and above all a substantially longer render distance, which changes how the world reads at a glance. There are no graphics modes to select and no PS5 Pro enhancements, so Pro owners run the same version. The PS4 edition still targets 60fps but at 1080p and with a much shorter render distance.
