October 2019 may seem like ten years ago now but that’s when I got the chance to check out Minecraft with RTX and I loved it. Ever since then I’ve been wondering when the update would be releasing and I’m happy to reveal that it’s coming soon.
Minecraft with RTX beta is going live on April 17th and yes, that is just right around the corner.
What I played last year blew my socks off and I’ve been repeating the same thing to people since then: don’t underestimate Minecraft with RTX just because of the pixel style.
You can find the gameplay I captured last year in the video below and check out more of my preview from last year HERE as well.
