In terms of sheer popularity, few games come close to what Minecraft has managed to achieve, as it is currently the most popular game on the market.
This can be attributed to the fact that it is available on any platform imaginable, or maybe it is because the system requirements are very forgiving, even for those with dated PCs.
One can even argue that so many players love Minecraft because of the unique approach to the crafting and building genre, but that’s a different story.
Well, it seems that Minecraft has taken a step forward, and it is set to reinforce its place as the most popular video game ever.
Minecraft Java Edition now offers a free trial
The current player base is already large on PC, but the main goal of every game is to draw in newer players constantly.
On that note, Mojang decided to offer up Minecraft: Java Edition to be tested during a trial period so that new players can get a taste of the game before deciding to buy it.
The Minecraft Java Edition free trial is available on Android, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Windows 10, and Vita
The Minecraft trial is available for Android, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows 10, and the Vita console.
While PC players will gain access to Minecraft Java Edition, the other players will receive a trial version of the Bedrock version.
How do I download the Minecraft free trial?
- Go to the official Minecraft website
- Hover your cursor over Games
- Select Minecraft from the list
- Select Try for free
- Scroll down the page and select Download now
- Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the installer
There you have it, now you can try out Minecraft before you buy it, and chances are you might actually end up liking it.
Keep in mind that trying Minecraft out requires that you also create an account and that by next year you will need a Microsoft account in order to play Minecraft.
That being said, might as well create one from the very beginning so you don’t have to worry about migrating when the deadline comes.
