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.

  • If I buy the digital version will I still have to pay again if I later decide I want the disc when it comes out or will I just be able to go pick up a disc and get rid of the digital version for an even trade?

  • Super excited to get the game tomorrow!
    Thanks for all the hard work!
    AlwaYS looking for new people to play with add me so we can get our minecraft on.

  • Well that stinks. May I ask why not? I know you and Microsoft are in competition, but GTA V online characters and online progress is transferable from Xbox 360 – PS4. I used PS3 primarily from 2009 – 2011, then got an Xbox for friends and used 2011 – Present. We are going to Playstation soon. I would think you two would work to bring most joy to customers.

    Trust me, it isn’t so much about paying the price, but losing our endless hours on building masterpieces, only to essentially lose them since we are cancelling our Live subscriptions. That and the $20.00 would be pretty expensive after shelling out 1/2 a grand for your bundle.

    Gamesharing is still a thing right?

  • can I buy a ps3 version tomorrow and still get a discount on ps4 or is it if you already have ps3 when its released

  • Will there be an Update with the release of the PS4 Edition of Minecraft?

  • All I have to say is… it’s about @$#&! time!! can’t wait!

  • make it quick on the vita version one. the only reason i got the vita was for minecraft so please hurry. cant wait any longer

  • If I bought Minecraft for PS3 digitally yesterday and don’t have a save am I still eligible for the PS4 discount?

  • Really wish the Vita version came with it.

  • Will Vita be cross save with PS3 and PS4?

    • They are still working to determine if it can be cross save with PS3. We will have more information about the Vita version soon.

  • hi playstation when does it release in New Zealand is it possible its tomorrow as well or even later today as its 5pm september 4th here????

  • If I purchased Minecraft PS3 edition off of my other account and no longer have access to it, will I be able to gain access to the $5 upgrade promotion?

  • How exactly does the Minecraft PS3 Disc Version to PS4 Upgrade/Discount work? Do I take it back to my local retail store?

  • 35 times larger were a cell phone can do infinite gnome consoles are losing to phones. :(

  • Also I have two PS4’s in my household, I tried downloading a game on one console that I purchased on the other, and it only allowed me to play the game on the account it was purchased on, and when I tried to play it on a different account it had a lock over it. Is that the same case with all games?

  • @Brian Silva If I have the disk version for the PS3, I will be able to redeem it correct. Will I recieve a code or there’s a code I will be sent over email or while attempting to run the disk version?

  • Thank you sony for working so hard to get this game released. The true sony and minecraft fans understand why there had to be a delay. You guys have been working hard on it and we appreciate that you kept us up to date through the process. Super excited to play this game with the power of the PS4. You guys rock.

  • @Fulgore3000 if you have the disk for ps3 all you need to do is buy the $5 upgrade which will be on the playstation store. Then everytime you want to play you will insert your ps3 disc.

  • I can’t wait! Next week i get my PS4 with Destiny! And now i can get the PS4 version of minecraft for 5 bucks! Can this get any better! :D

  • So they’re saying I can rent the game for $2 from redbox on the PS3, create a save file and upgrade to PS4 for $5?

  • Is there gonna be a PS Plus free version of this game anytime soon?

  • Will it be out in England today ???

  • when i buy / own PS3 disc or digital and when i upgrade to ps4 will i be able to play on both systems?

  • ok folks that want all 3 versions but don’t have a ps3 , this is what i would do:
    first , go to the psn store on the web or phone or what ever (even without a ps3) find minecraft FOR ps3 and buy it with your same psn that you use for ps4 and vita. make sure that you confirm that you just bought it for PLAYSTATION 3. one way to double check is to go to your download list and see if its there, it should be even if you dont have a ps3. now got back to the store the same way and find the ps4 version and buy it at the upgrade price of $5 and download it to you ps4. BAM, now when ever the vita version drops it will show up in your download list on your vita. just hit download and you have all 3 versions for $25 total, legal and legit .

    now my only question for brain is if i bought it on ps3 under my psn account for my kid to play on her own account on my system will she be able to take her ps3 save to her same psn account on my ps4 or will the save moving only work for the account that actually paid for it (the main account) ?

    thx

  • I just wanted to say YAY!! I have a 6 year old that has been making me check for updates for the past 2 days…tomorrow is like xmas for him!

  • When I buy PS4 version can download free on my PS Vitas?

  • is this for Australia aswell?

  • Just wondering like many of us from EU and UK when it will be on store to purchase for us? Please reply , thanks!

  • @125: it was already explained, NO.

  • So no love for Australia?

  • i have xbox 360 version, can i move all my saves to ps4?

  • 130: of course not?

  • What time gmt?

  • Is it coming out in Europe at all actually?

  • @ nitecrawler_82 / and others who are asking:

    NO. You cannot bring Xbox 360 saves of Minecraft over to PS Vita, PS3 or PS4. Why? Why, when games like GTA V and Diablo 3 are advertising this feature? Simple. Those games have servers you connect to and upload your save, then download the save on your new system. In the case of GTA V, it’s only your online progress, because your progress is saved on their servers, and can be retrieved on any system. With Diablo 3, you’re uploading your save to your Battle.Net account, then connecting to that account from whatever system you’re playing the game on. Minecraft does not have servers. You connect directly to other players, so there are no cross-console servers for your worlds to be saved on. It’s quite simple, if you put in the effort to think about it.

    On-Topic: Really happy to see that you guys are rushing this out to get it ahead of Destiny. I’ll at least have this weekend to play with my new, bigger Minecraft world before I get sucked into that beast of a game. Thanks for all the hard work and effort in getting this turned around so quickly after failing cert the first time, and Sony for getting it back through cert so quickly the second time. Congrats all around.

  • Is this like the previous upgrade program where having the PS3 disc in your PS4 is required to play?

    i need to know ASAP

  • What if I only want the PS4 version (I’m not interested in crossbuy)? The Dutch PSN store only shows the PS4 demo and the upgrade, which is unavailable since I don’t have the PS3 version..

  • If I don’t own a ps3, can I buy the ps3 version online then take advantage of the cross buy vita version plus $5 upgrade on my ps4?

  • When can I play minecraft ????? It 12:30am on USA time :(

  • you say that the vita versions only if you buy the ps3 version but ive heard from many news sources said if you bought the ps4 version you would get all 3?
    this doesnt make much sense for my friend he only has a ps4 and a vita hows he suppose to get all 3 for 25$ then?

  • there should be an easier way for people to downgrade if they dont have the ps3 version or only want the vita version
    like the ps4 you can buy the vita version for 5$

  • @137

    Based on what’s been said here, yes you can absolutely do that.

    @139/140

    Tell your friend to do what 137 proposed. Go on the web store (store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com) and buy the PS3 version, which gets him/her the PS3 and Vita versions. Then do the $5 upgrade. Voila. All three versions, $24.98.

  • If I buy the Minecraft PS3 edition second hand (disk version) will I be able to upgrade it to the PS4? (This question also counts if I choose to buy the retail version new). How does it exactly work? How does PlayStation see if I’m eligible for the PS4 upgrade and the PS Vita cross-buy? Thank you for your time.

  • so the ps4 disc version is out today? Amazon have said nothing about it so far

  • What if i don’t have a PS4 yet. Would i be able to buy the PS4 version for $5 if i bought the PS3 version, like on PC store?

  • did it coming for online buy? i mean on playstation store

  • When will it be released in the UK/EU????

  • So basically you have to own a ps3 version first to be able to get it in the ps4? Well that’s what it looks like on my psn store for ps4. It says it’s not available for purchase and when I press tell me more it says I don’t own the ps3 edition of the game. Please tell me what’s up.

  • What if you have friends that don’t own a PS4 yet, but have the Minecraft on there PS3 can we still play together in an online session between both systems?
