Minecraft enters final testing before PlayStation 4 debut

4.7

Sharpen your pickaxes and keep an eye out for Creepers as the smash-hit building/exploration sandbox Minecraft is inching ever closer to its PlayStation 4 launch, according to a tweet from developer 4J Studios.

"We've handed Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition over to Sony for final test!" reads the brief message issued alongside the image you see above. As we reported a month ago, Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition brings with it a number of unique features including optional support for the DualShock 4 touchpad, save game transfers from both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and "a bunch of Sony-specific DLC coming soon after release."

Once Minecraft is available on the PlayStation 4, those who own the game on PS3 will be able to upgrade to the game's new generation iteration for $5. Developer 4J Studios has yet to reveal a release date (or even a vague window) for the game's launch, but barring any catastrophes during testing we expect more information soon.

Really depends on your preference of gaming. If you're more of a console player, you'll more than likely to enjoy a game better on the console rather than a PC version.

I can't wait to get Minecraft, this is one of the games I've been waiting for for a while. I hope it gets released sometime soon. Also, it's awesome that it will only be $5 to get the game if you had Minecraft previously on PS3 or Xbox 360.
