Requirements: Active internet connection + Xbox Game Pass (Standard or Ultimate)

Step-by-Step Process:

Pro Tip: Don't turn off your console during installation -- corrupted files require complete re-downloads.

PlayStation users access beta builds directly through the main Minecraft application:

Note: Preview downloads replace your standard version temporarily. Your worlds remain safe and accessible.

Android offers the simplest beta access through Google Play's built-in beta program:

Auto-Update: If updates don't start automatically, manually trigger them in Play Store settings.

iOS beta access is more complex due to Apple's TestFlight requirements and limited slots:

Critical Warning: iOS slots are limited and reset monthly. Access gets revoked after extended inactivity, so launch the preview 1-2 times monthly to maintain your spot.

Windows players have two installation paths depending on whether they're new to beta testing:

Method 1: Microsoft Store

If the Update button doesn't appear, click "Get Updates" in the top-right corner to force-check for available updates.

Method 2: Xbox App

First installations take longer -- be patient while files download and install.

Recommendation: Create separate backup worlds specifically for beta testing. Don't use your main survival world in preview builds.
