How to download Minecraft Bedrock 26.50.26 beta and preview on all platforms

Minecraft Bedrock 26.50.26 beta and preview were officially released on August 18, 2026, giving us another sneak peek at Drop 3 features that are much anticipated. Previous updates have introduced massive new biomes and interactive blocks to the game, but this latest release is all about refining those additions.

The new Minecraft Bedrock 26.50.26 preview has a ton of quality of life tweaks, particularly for the new Abandoned Camps, Cushions and mapping systems. It is worth noting that this is a work in progress version and it might be unstable.
