What you need to know
- Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update” officially releases on June 7, 2022 to all Minecraft players.
- On Thursday, Mojang Studios released Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Preview 1.19.10.20.
- The pre-release build includes dozens of fixes and improvements for the imminent 1.19 release.
- This is also the first Minecraft Preview-exclusive build on Xbox and Windows, with only Android users using the old beta program.
We’re in the final stretch before the release of The Wild Update, and Mojang Studios is implementing last-minute polish and fixes through its latest snapshots and betas. Minecraft Preview 1.19.10.20 is now available, and it includes a huge list of bug fixes and a shift in the aging Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta program.
In case you missed it, Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update” is officially releasing on June 7, 2022. This means the update is essentially feature-complete, with Mojang Studios focusing on shoring up any lingering issues. This isn’t stopping the latest Minecraft Preview from containing a surprisingly long changelog, however, with dozens of improvements included.
Aside from a plethora of The Wild Update changes, this release signifies another important change: Xbox and Windows Minecraft players can only access it through the Minecraft Preview. As of this build, the old Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta is only active on Android devices, with the new, superior Minecraft Preview taking over on Xbox, Windows, and iOS platforms.
Owners of the Bedrock Edition of one of Xbox’s best games can access Minecraft Preview for free on Xbox and Windows. It’s also included in Xbox and PC Game Pass, making it easier than ever to participate in the development of Minecraft without losing any features.
