Microsoft's Minecraft has already had tremendous success over the years across multiple platforms, but there are still some platforms it's not available on. One, in particular, missing out is Steam - while Minecraft can be downloaded through the Microsoft Store on PC, it's not yet expanded to Valve's launcher.
This could all be set to change, based on a recent discovery. As "verified" by Windows Central, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers have spotted a new anniversary perk where users can receive 500 Minecoins for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and one of the platforms apparently supported is Steam.
Minecraft isn't available at all on Steam right now, so this has already led to some speculation. The survival and crafting game is currently celebrating 15 years, and Microsoft has said on numerous occasions how it wants to expand its audience as much as possible, so a release on Steam could give the game a boost.
Microsoft already offers other Minecraft games including Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends on Steam. In addition to this, most of its Xbox Game Studios lineup has been released on the platform including series like Halo and Forza Motorsport.
If we hear any updates or developments, we'll let you know.

I’ve just made an account to say this but you can use Minecoins on the Steam version of Minecraft Legends, probably nothing too exciting happening
@Clamwowowowo Ahhh man I was getting excited. I have a steam deck and just want to be able to play Minecraft natively on it. It’s so bizarre that you can buy all the Minecraft spin offs but not the actual game.
@GeeEssEff yeah sorry about that 😊 maybe one day it could come to steam, who knows
@Clamwowowowo no. No, no, and no!
You will not just come on here and give a simple, yet logical explanation, and think it will dispel my wild conspiracies.
This tiny little detail about Minecoins clearly points to Microsoft buying Steam, putting Minecraft on Steam, and putting Steam on Xbox.
And no one can convince me otherwise!
@Kienda 😂
But everyone know Xbox needs EVERY app from Antstream to Steam & even the Google Play Store
@Clamwowowowo "minecoins to use with bedrock edition".
@VokDaWiibSlayer yes, you can also use Bedrock Edition Minecoins on Minecraft Legends. They are the same coins.
@Clamwowowowo I'm merely pointing out that the article specifically names bedrock edition.
@VokDaWiibSlayer I know but Minecoins for bedrock and legends are the same as they are linked through xbox accounts
