Jan. 13, 2023



After years of lifehacks, complaints, and waiting, it’s finally time for Chromebook users to rejoice. The most popular sandbox game of all time might officially be coming to Chrome OS at last, and there’s major proof to back the claim. So, without wasting time, let’s see if the dream of playing Minecraft on Chromebook is actually coming to life.

In an unexpected turn of events, Twitter user and Minecraft artistLilly/Beaconhas found a special piece of code in the latest Minecraft Bedrock preview edition. As per their discovery, the code mentions a specific trial version of Minecraft that is exclusive to Chromebook users. Furthermore, there is also a mention of the Minecraft marketplace, which, as you might know, comes bundled with the Bedrock edition. So, from the looks of it, a dedicated version of Minecraft Bedrock for Chromebook is in the works at Mojang Studios.

If this becomes a reality, you can expect to enjoy the blocky experience on a dedicated and optimized version of Minecraft instead of using the Android app. Currently, only Windows can run the Bedrock edition of Minecraft natively in the PC category.
