Microsoft is releasing an early access version of the game “Minecraft: Bedrock Edition” on Chromebooks.

The game features cross-device play with friends, access to the Minecraft Marketplace and the ability to play on Realms, the company said in a Minecraft blogpost on Wednesday.

“While it won’t be available to purchase for everyone yet (the full release will come later) it’s an exciting step towards making Minecraft accessible to even more people.”

Early access means that in this first phase, only specific Chromebook devices that meet the minimum requirements will have the option to purchase Minecraft.

Hence, users need to check the Google Play Store to see if the game is available for them or not.

With the Early Access version, the company aims to test the game’s performance before making it available to more players.

“Between now and the official launch date, we’ll be working hard to make sure Minecraft runs smoothly on Chromebooks,” the tech giant said.

“We don’t have a firm release date for the full version of Minecraft for Chromebook yet, but once it’s officially released, everyone with a compatible Chromebook will be able to download it from the Google Play Store. “
