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.

Is Minecraft sill going? I've never really heard many people playing on it these days.

Disc release is good if you get banned, but retail stores jack up the price so it really isn't worth it to buy a physical copy.

Better than waiting I suppose.

Pryzel Disc release is always good, looking forward to seeing what the vita version is like.


I'm exited to see how it looks as well, if it has some good reviews I'll most likely purchase it.


The disc release is looking good indeed.

That would suck if you have to pay full price for the Vita version if you already own both the PS3 and PS4 version.
