Minecraft fans! We’re excited to finally tell you that the Minecraft PS4 Edition will be available on PlayStation Store this Thursday before 12pm Pacific for only $19.99!

For those looking for the ultimate Minecraft experience, the PS4 Edition will feature worlds 36 times bigger than the ones you might be used to on the PS3 system. Existing players will be able to import PS3 saves to the PS4 Edition, allowing them to continue work on their immense structure or delve even deeper towards the Nether.

Staying true to our promise, we wanted to make sure that anyone who previously bought the PS3 Edition (Disc or Digital) would be able to upgrade to PS4 Edition for a small fee.

Well, we’re happy to officially announce the upgrade option is available to any existing PS3 Edition owners for just $4.99!

  • Please reply , Thanks. I already bought Minecraft for PS3 Disc a few days ago,but I don’t play it and have a save on my PS3. am I still eligible for the PS4 discount to log in PS4 today?

  • :D :D :D

  • Hey there Brian Silva. I’m from Australia and just checked on the playstation store and the PS4 version is available but the upgrade option is not? I bought the disc version a month ago. And have signed in with the same PSN account on both consoles. Can you help?

  • my got cant wait

  • Hi Sony how many gb is this download gonna be thx

  • I know the worlds are a lot bigger but will there be any other differences on ps4 compared to ps3. Like more add-ons or mods? I love the game but my poor son loves watching minecraft vids and well they have almost everything on pc and i have to keep telling him “nope son we have the playstation version”. Will the ps4 version evolve to that of the pc capabilities or will ppl be able to mod MC like on PC? I mean this PS4 is a beast. Are we gonna be able to “Unleash the Beast” for MC on PS4? Thx.

  • Oh thank the powers of Playstation, a solid co op experience!

  • Hello everyone !

    Feel free to add me : Belend024

    Visit my PS4 Website for Minecraft, I’m hosting Massive Building Projects and Games : http://www.ps4minecraft.weebly.com

    See you all soon !

  • I’ve downloaded the ps4 version but i can’t upload my savegames to my ps4. How does it work from ps3 to ps4?

  • Congrats on the release Mojang. Personally I’ll be sticking with the PC version because it’s vastly superior in terms of features. I’ll probably grab the PS4 version when it reaches feature parity, especially considering how big Minecraft 1.8 is.

    It would also be really awesome to see shader/HD textures support that you can enable/disable on the PS4 version since it’s as powerful as mid range PCs. Oh well, still an incredible and unique game everyone should check out, but PC version for me.

  • Hey Brian Silva, i would really like a response, ive been waiting patiently for Minecraft PS4 Edition to come out in the Asia Pacific Region or more specifically, Japan. All i would like to know is the date it will come out for the Asia Pacific Region or Japan. thanks a bunch :)

  • Hi, I have a problem !!! I bought the retail copy of Minecraft for PS3 but in the store of the PS4 it’s still at 18,99€ WHYYY?

  • I checked the store not there. The UK store has it though why?

  • What minecraft update will be on the ps4 version? Will it be 1.8 (newest) or still only at the ps3 versions update?

  • My apologies if this has already been answered (I looked and didn’t see a direct answer, unless I missed it) but if you own the PS3 version and decide to pay the $4.99 to upgrade to the PS4 version, does that render the PS3 version useless after that or at that point can you still play either the PS3 version or the PS4 version if you want?

  • If I upgrade ps3 disc version will it still b playable on ps3 and my ps4?

  • So will the disc version be available to or later this year.

  • You guys need to learn how to update your store at 12 eastern time zone not 12 pacific time zone. Is it really that hard or just lazy?

  • If I buy PS4 edition, and buy all the PS3 skin/texture packs today, will they be supported?

  • “About to Purchase Minecraft PS3 Edition (Disc)
    Those joining the Minecraft experience through disc purchase should find a voucher packed in with an entitlement code.”

    So it’s supposed that if i buy the PS3 Disk Edition now it should have a voucher inside the box no? but what happends to the old retail boxes that are still on sale?

    Thanks for the help!

  • Why did EU get This before U.S?

  • Basically, if you DO NOT already own the PS3 version then buy it, period. Then you can upgrade to the PS4 for $5. $25 will get you all three versions or $20 will get you just the PS4 version. If you buy the PS4 version first then you’ll be spending $40 for all three.

    Buy the PS3 version and then upgrade.

    Thank you and good night.

  • @168 I believe the SAVE gets moved to the PS4 from the PS3 version. Of course you can still play your PS3 disc version but your SAVE will be gone so you’ll have to start over. Like they’re gonna lock out your physical disc from working…sheesh.

  • WERE IZ GAM? Y NO I CAN HAZ GAM? YU SED I WUD BE ABLE TO HAZ GAM TODY, BUT NO GAM HERE. WERE IZ GAMZ PLZ?

  • OHMYGOSH!!!

    Ive been waiting for this for a long time!

  • Anyone know the download size?

  • QUESTION: If you upgrade from PS3 digital version to PS4 digital version, can you still use the PS3 digital version? Or does it work like Diablo, meaning if you upgrade, do you lose anything?

  • lol, looking at some of these comments, some people will complain about anything.

  • so is that afternoon or midnight im confused

  • Wasn’t the Vita version announced first? Or close?

    I’m getting kind of tired of these games that were coming to both systems getting pushed to PS4 like this. That Oddworld game was coming to Vita before the PS4 even launched, why in god’s name did that get it first?

  • Hi! Can I have the game?

  • Can we have the game now please?

  • You said we could play the game! Give us game!

  • I have this on PS3 but when I goto the store on PS4 it wants £12.99!?!? Why can’t i get the upgrade price?

  • Still no minecraft on The Ps4 store
    :( we probably going to get it Friday

  • When’s Minecraft Ps4 edition come out for Australia!?

  • Can PS4 sub accounts play online? The main account has Plus.

  • Will it be available in Canada too since title says”Coming to US”? thanks

  • WickedNemesis-

    They specifically said before 12pm Pacific Standard Time, its 8am pst right now, hold your horses.

  • Cyberdragonbax-

    A mod answered earlier, yes it’ll be coming to Canada as well.

  • +Mikaelkid17 The reason GTA V supports cross platform is the social club. They have set up a system to allow cross saves. Sony had no part in it. If it is a serious issue for you, talk to Mojang. It’s on them.

  • wenn meine freunde ps3 miecraft spielen kann ich auch mit meiner ps4 mit spielen ?

  • PST grrrr what’s so special about that time zone. Over here in EST, we started the dang country! EST should be dibs!

  • When will this be available on disc?

  • Cool news, but I am going to be too busy with Destiny next week that I won’t be purchasing it… yet. I will wait for the physical release though.

  • What happen it’s not on the store
