Mojang recently announced that they have released an early access version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition for select Chromebook devices. This is major news for players and the company, as they will now offer the game on a brand new platform.
The Minecraft Bedrock Edition is available on various devices, from desktops to smartphones. Adding Chromebooks to this list will result in Mojang providing the game on every smart electronic device possible. This will allow even more people to play the game and have fun with others through the cross-play feature.
Here is everything you need to know about the latest information.

Bedrock Edition early access coming to select Chromebooks
One of the main takeaways from the news is that the game has only been released as early access for select Chromebooks. This means that not all Chromebook users can see the game on the Google Play Store and download it.
This is because Mojang is still testing the compatibility and reliability of Chromebooks. The game's early access version could have several bugs and glitches. However, this will include the complete game, with access to cross-play, the marketplace, and realms, to name a few.
