Minecraft coming to PS3 on December 17

4.8
Minecraft will launch on PS3 on December 17 (tomorrow) in North America, a PlayStation Blog post revealed. The developer in charge of the port, 4J Studios, announced in November that the PS3 version of the game would arrive ahead of next-gen consoles. 4J Studios is still developing PS4 and PlayStation Vita versions, which will land sometime next year, though it's unknown if the game will be cross-compatible or feature any remote play options.

The PS3 version will be "pretty much identical" to other console versions of the game. DLC and texture packs for the game will be available on PSN "soon after release." No price was listed for the game, though it launched on Xbox 360 for $20. In terms of its appearance on home consoles, Minecraft was exclusive to Xbox 360 since it launched in May 2012. That iteration of the game recently celebrated its 10 millionth sale.

Honk Why did this not come out sooner?


Mojang and 4J had to sort out legal stuff with Sony before it could be made, and I suppose they 4J wanted to se how well the 360 version did before making a PS3 version.

That is pretty neat. Hope they enjoy it as much as Xbox did.

I prefer the PC version too. The only thing I like about the 360 version is no FPS lag.

slapshot101 I wonder how fast this will be before it reaches a million sales. I also wonder if this game is going to have anywhere near as good of success and sales as the Xbox version, I mean I am sure it is going to have amazing sales but I wonder if it will ever catch up to the Xbox.

Probably, because I'm sure they're going to do what they do with most ps4 games making the game accessible through your ps4-vita-ps3
Obviously, ps3 gets it first.

I feel so bad for the PS3 players who buy this.
