Release date & how to download 1.26.30
The stable version releases on June 16, 2026 on Google Play — if you already own Minecraft it updates automatically (My apps › Update) and keeps your worlds. For now you can only try it via the official Preview/beta program. Avoid third-party APKs promising the «full free 1.26.30» — they are usually fake or malware.
