Minecraft Dungeons Arcade Series 4 software and cards are now available from Raw Thrills, following a delay that caused some earlier reports to suggest the update had launched in March.
Series 4 release update
Series 4 was first revealed around Amusement Expo 2025, but its release was postponed soon after the event and the promotional trailer was made private. Machines briefly moved to version 5.00 before returning to version 4.08.
The delay may have been connected to tariff-related adjustments and the release of the Minecraft movie. Raw Thrills had previously indicated that Series 4 could arrive in July, but the new content and cards can now be obtained.

Minecraft Series 4 trailer
The original Raw Thrills video is no longer available on YouTube, so the following footage is being used as a temporary replacement.
What comes with Series 4?
Series 4 introduces 25 new cards, taking the collection to 143 cards in total. It also expands the game to 11 levels with the addition of Pumpkin Pastures.
Pumpkin Pastures is an arcade-exclusive variation of the similarly named level found in the console version. Although the names are familiar, the arcade stage is distinct and gives Minecraft Dungeons Arcade content that is not simply a copy of the home release.
The Series 4 flyer is shown below.
Cards, artwork and ordering information
Series 4 was available to order through a distributor, although it was not yet listed on that distributor’s website at the time of writing. Buyers needed to call and ask for it directly.
Orders do not include the new banner and artwork immediately. Instead, they include a postcard that can be completed and returned to Raw Thrills. The Series 4 art kit is then supplied free of charge, requiring an additional step from the operator or buyer.
Operators planning an installation may also want to compare cabinet requirements through the Arcade Machine Buying Guide or browse available arcade machines.
Movie content and future updates
Series 4 does not currently include content specifically based on The Minecraft Movie. The film-related material is being treated separately, so a future series would be needed if that changes.
Raw Thrills has previously promoted additional levels and “Free Future Updates”, but there is no confirmation that Series 5 is in development.
How to receive the update
Connected Minecraft Dungeons Arcade machines should download and install Series 4 automatically. The update is free and does not require a purchase or manual activation, provided the cabinet has an internet connection.
One machine completed the download and installation in approximately 20 minutes. Actual timing will vary with the available internet connection.
Players should now be able to find the new Pumpkin Pastures level at connected Minecraft Dungeons Arcade locations. Owners managing their own cabinets can find support information through RETROCADE’s arcade repairs and maintenance service.
