Template:Italic title Template:For Template:Redirect Template:RedirectTemplate:DistinguishTemplate:Exclusive Template:Infobox program

Minecraft Preview is an application that can be used by players to test out beta features from Template:BE. It functions as a separate application, instead of the previous system of opt-in beta content inside of the Bedrock Edition game itself.<ref name="mcpreview">Template:Cite</ref>

As of 2025, Minecraft Preview is available for Windows,<ref name="w10preview">Template:Tweet</ref> Xbox<ref name="xboxpreview">Template:Cite</ref> and PlayStation, as well as limited users on iOS and iPadOS.

Development

On January 31, 2022, it was announced that the beta program would be expanded to other platforms, starting with iOS and iPadOS, in the form of Minecraft Preview app, separate from the normal Bedrock Edition app. The initial iOS and iPadOS launch was only limited to 500 users on TestFlight,<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> which was later expanded by adding 500 more later on.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

Later on February 7, 2022, Minecraft Preview was released for Xbox players via Xbox Insider Hub first, to test the migration of player worlds to the new app. The testing period was divided into two phases, for which users who don't own Minecraft can participate in,<ref name="xboxpreview" /> before it is officially released only to those who have bought Minecraft on Xbox.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

After the Minecraft Preview releases on iOS, iPadOS, and Xbox, the app released on Windows on February 9, 2022 and on PlayStation on February 15, 2024. Only players who own and bought the game can download and play Minecraft Preview.<ref name="w10preview" />
