Minecraft: Legacy Console Edition was the most populous of versions of Minecraft, being released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. But only 12 people were able to download _Minecraft: PlayStation 5 Edition._<\/p>\n
# Discovery
\nOn November 25th, 2020, shortly after the PlayStation 5’s release, a group of hackers leaked of multiple unreleased games that made its way into the PlayStation Store, including a beta of **Minecraft: PlayStation 5 Edition**.<\/p>\n
It was a more optimized version of Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition that included tons of additional features from the Nether Update on Java a few months prior. This was also the only version capable of **near-infinite world generation** and farther render distance up to **22 chunks**, thanks to the upgraded graphics unit in the PlayStation 5.<\/p>\n
Other noticeable changes included new button icons, **hardcore mode**, a new logo, and support for 120 FPS TVs and Monitors.<\/p>\n
This, at least, is all according to “_BensonReborn96_”, the only person who was able to archive the lost version on Thanksgiving Day, 2020.<\/p>\n
The game was up for just under 2 minutes, as Sony swiftly took action against the leaked games. The lost Minecraft version is still archived and hosted.<\/p>\n
# The Leak
\nDubbed the “_2020 PlayStation Store Leak_”, it costed Sony a frightening **$16 million** to remove the games from libraries and from the PlayStation Store. The leak took nearly two days to resolve.<\/p>\n
On November 27th, 2020, Sony addressed the leaks and stated that…
\n> The games that were listed on November 25th had no means of reaching the PlayStation Store.<\/p>\n
# Horror
\nBensonReborn96 and 11 other people were able to play the lost beta of the game for about 55-65 minutes before being booted by Sony and having the game removed from the library. Benson was the only person who archived Minecraft: PlayStation 5 Edition. The 12 people, including Benson, noticed some **strange and disturbing things from within it**.<\/p>\n
Notable Minecraft mythologies kept terrorizing their worlds, and random blocks of bedrock kept spawning in addition. This made the game extremely disturbing, despite that Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition, the version this is based on, **did not have these events anywhere in the code**.<\/p>\n
Benson reached out to 4J Studios if they ever planned on making this beta as haunting as it was, and they reached back saying…
\n> We were, in fact, hard at work making a PlayStation 5 port of Minecraft. We had tons of features of the Nether Update in it, but we did not implant any of the ‘anomolies’ you encountered.<\/p>\n
### If you’re wondering where it is now, this is that version.<\/p>\n
## Recommended Setup
\n– 60 fps monitor, preferrably 1920×1080
\n– DualSense Wireless Controller (any other controller is fine)<\/p>\n
