Minecraft RTX for Windows
Minecraft RTX Beta for Windows 10 brings a brand new experience to enjoy creator-built worlds with realistic lighting, vibrant colors, naturally reflective water and emissive textures that light up.
How To Download and Play The Minecraft with RTX Beta
Microsoft and Mojang are operating the Minecraft with RTX beta via the Xbox Insider program, as they do with all other Minecraft betas, enabling them to collect and collate feedback, and automatically share updates. To join there are few steps, though it’s all easy-peasy if you follow our guide below.
First, ensure your system meets the minimum system requirements:
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, or better
- CPU: Intel Core i5, or equivalent, or better
- RAM: 8GB, or more
- Storage: 2GB (Game, plus all worlds and resource packs)
- Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Next, download and install the latest Windows 10 updates, followed by our Minecraft with RTX Game Ready Driver, which delivers day-0 optimizations and performance improvements for the beta, and is required for the use of NVIDIA DLSS 2.0. Also, ensure you own a copy of Minecraft for Windows 10, as that is needed for participation in the beta program.
