[Update] Minecraft: ray tracing was finally added by mistake on Xbox Series X|S

Update 31/03 21:30 PM: Finally, Mojang posted a tweet to indicate that enabling the ray tracing feature via minecraft preview on Xbox Series was a mistake. The option was taken away, and the studio even indicates that it was only a prototype which is far from ready for a large-scale deployment. So it was a false start.

Original article:

There will be movement on the side of Minecraft ! Indeed, the Mojang title will soon be optimized for the latest Xboxes… And that's not all since a highly anticipated feature will also make its debut soon.

It may seem surprising but Minecraft still hasn't received its upgrade that would allow it to use the power of the Xbox Series X|S. However, the Swedish studio Mojang does indeed belong to Microsoft, but communication was at a standstill regarding this hypothetical optimization. But that just changed!

A smooth deployment

At this time, only select users can access what's new via the Minecraft Preview software downloadable from the Xbox Insider Hub app on Xbox Series X|S. As the video below uploaded by Tom Warren shows, the game is now optimized for both consoles and ray tracing can be applied. This last feature can be activated by creating a new world or by joining a PC world.

Mojang hasn't said anything yet about a larger-scale rollout for these improvements. Remember that Minecraft Preview is intended to replace Minecraft Beta while sitting alongside the Bedrock version.
