After years of lifehacks, complaints, and waiting, it’s finally time for Chromebook users to rejoice. The most popular sandbox game of all time might officially be coming to Chrome OS at last, and there’s major proof to back the claim. So, without wasting time, let’s see if the dream of playing Minecraft on Chromebook is actually coming to life.
In an unexpected turn of events, Twitter user and Minecraft artist Lilly/Beacon has found a special piece of code in the latest Minecraft Bedrock preview edition. As per their discovery, the code mentions a specific trial version of Minecraft that is exclusive to Chromebook users. Furthermore, there is also a mention of the Minecraft marketplace, which, as you might know, comes bundled with the Bedrock edition. So, from the looks of it, a dedicated version of Minecraft Bedrock for Chromebook is in the works at Mojang Studios.

We only have a single leak to rely upon, so it is early to predict an accurate release date for the Chromebook edition of Minecraft. However, since it is probably being tested along with the features of Minecraft 1.20, we might witness its release in mid or late 2023. Still, it is worth noting that Mojang Studios & Microsoft, the developers of Minecraft, still haven’t acknowledged this leak. So, at this point, it’s best to wait for more official information.
