Minecraft For Chromebooks Exits Early Access – Here Are The Machines It’ll Run On

As with any video game, if you want to play “Minecraft” on your Chromebook device, its components must be sufficiently powerful. That said, “Minecraft,” at least at its lowest settings, has never been a prohibitively advanced game, so even some older Chromebooks should be able to run it.

According to “Minecraft’s” official Chromebook FAQ, the recommended specs for an ideal performance include one of the following processors: AMD Ryzen 3 3250C, Intel Celeron N4500, Intel i3-7130U, Mediatek Kompanio 500 (MT8183), or Qualcomm SC7180. Additionally, you’ll need 4 GB of RAM and at least 1 GB of storage for installation. If you don’t meet the recommended specs, you still may meet the minimum specs if you have an AMD A4-9120C, Intel Celeron N4000, Intel 3865U, or Intel m3-8100Y processor. Either way, you’ll need to run the latest version of ChromeOS, version 111.

Those of you who were already playing the Android version of “Minecraft” on a Chromebook can upgrade to the Chromebook version for $13.00 USD. If you don’t have the Android version, you will need to pay $19.99 to get the Chromebook version, though you will also get the Android version with it.
