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.

vWatsonc I've starting playing minecraft on the iPad with my little brother and I was surprised how good it was !

you should get it on console or PC mate :) I do play on my ipad when im in the car or something but its much better on Console/PC, if you want to play with your bro you could get it on console then you can split screen with him :D

It's good that it's coming to the PS4 and will possibly make a lot of sales as well but I won't be buying it since I've got it on PC and would be totally pointless me getting it on the PS4 since I have friends I play it with on the PC and none on the Ps4 and there's a lot more stuff you can do on Minecraft on the PC.

I'm definitely upgrading to next-gen consoles, because I like Minecraft, and I wanna play it on my PS4 with my friends!!
