Minecraft players eager to soar through the skies on their own happy ghast are wondering exactly when they’ll get their hands on the Chase the Skies update. While Mojang has officially revealed the name and features of their summer 2025 game drop, they haven’t pinned down a specific release date yet.
Here’s what we know about when Chase the Skies will launch, plus some educated guesses based on Mojang’s typical update patterns and the scope of features they’re planning to include.
Minecraft Chase the Skies Release Date
Mojang has confirmed that Chase the Skies will arrive during summer 2025. That gives us a window of roughly June through August, though the exact timing within that period remains unclear. The announcement came on June 1st, 2025, and many in the Minecraft community are speculating that the update could drop this month, though this remains unconfirmed.
Looking at Mojang’s recent release pattern gives us some clues about when Chase the Skies might actually launch:
- Spring to Life – March 25, 2025
- The Garden Awakens – December 3, 2024
- Bundles of Bravery – October 22, 2024
- Armored Paws – April 23, 2024
Based on this timeline, drops typically happen every 2-4 months. Since Spring to Life launched in March, a June release for Chase the Skies would fit perfectly with this pattern. Here is what you can expect:
- June 2025: This seems increasingly likely given the pattern above. The announcement timing and community speculation suggest Mojang might be targeting a mid-to-late June release.
- July 2025: If development needs more time.
Platform Availability
When Chase the Skies does launch, it will be available for both Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Minecraft: Java Edition. However, the Vibrant Visuals feature will initially only work on compatible Bedrock Edition devices, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and 5, newer Android and iOS devices, and PC running DX12.
That’s everything we know about the Chase the Skies release date so far. The update will launch sometime during summer 2025, with community speculation pointing toward a possible June release based on Mojang’s recent update patterns.
