Minecraft Dungeons is set in the same fictional world as Minecraft, known as the "Overworld", consisting of rough 3D objects—mainly cubes and fluids, and commonly called "blocks"—representing various materials, and inhabited by both peaceful and hostile mobs.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Core i5 2.8GHz or equivalent, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 or equivalent DX11 GPU. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 6GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Minecraft Dungeons launched on 26 May 2020, within three weeks of Valorant, Desperados III, Deep Rock Galactic and Tetris Effect: Connected. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 7 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Valorant, Desperados III, Deep Rock Galactic, Tetris Effect: Connected.
