Minecraft's PS4 incarnation reaches retail stores in October

4.7
Following the recent digital debut of Minecraft on the PlayStation 4, Sony has revealed that the sandbox construction game will also appear on store shelves on October 7.

Like its Xbox One counterpart, the PlayStation 4 version of Minecraft is based largely on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 ports of the game, which are themselves stripped down versions of the PC original. Owing to improved hardware however, the PlayStation 4's Minecraft feature worlds "36 times bigger" than its PlayStation 3 counterpart. As with the digital version of Minecraft, players with existing saved games on either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 will be able to transfer their progress to the PlayStation 4 game and quickly resume where they left off.

Lacking from this announcement is any word on the long-awaited Vita version of Minecraft, but Sony claims that more information on that game will appear "in a few weeks," including word on how cross-buy functionality will work for those who already own Minecraft on another Sony gaming machine.

Ache My friends are looking forward to playing it on PS4, I'm personally just fine with the PC version.

I really hope the PC version will still be updated as frequently as it has in the past.. It may not though since it was purchased by Microsoft.


You do realize that the development of minecraft hasn't changed right? All they did was buy the company, they didn't just buy the game and fire everyone to just hire some random people when they already have people who are still wanting to develop it.


I understand that, yes. But that doesn't mean they won't update the other versions of the game before PC version.

No but a few of the main developers left the Minecraft project when Microsoft bought out Mojang.


If im not mistaken, The developers who left already had a plan to leave the studio, They just chose to leave after the sale
