Comments:

Bedrock version 2.23 (In game version 1.16.221) included on disc. This version is equivalent to Java version 1.16.

This new reprint can be spotted by the PSVR logo on the front of the box, as well as the newer Mojang logo on the disc itself.

The licenses for the following DLCs are included on disc, but cannot be used until you download them from the Marketplace:
⁃ LittleBigPlanet Mash-up Pack
⁃ Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack
⁃ Skin Pack 1
⁃ City Texture Pack

Also includes a code for 700 Tokens for the marketplace

This disc also contains PSVR support, allowing you to play the entire game in VR.

The skin selection screen does not function very well when offline in this version, and the game does not allow you to access the menu at all if you do not have a linked PSN account attached to your profile.

There is a world conversion feature that allows you to convert your older PS4 Edition worlds to Bedrock Edition worlds. This feature does work offline.

If you have a save file from the PS4 Edition, your FOV and Control settings will automatically be set to mimic the PS4 Edition, instead of the new default settings used in Bedrock Edition.

The game is playable solo or with up to 4 players in split screen.

Issues encountered:
⁃ Some minor framerate issues
⁃ Sound can become a little distorted in this build whenever there is heavy storage activity going on, such as when the game autosaves, or when the game is trying to load chunks.
