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!
Here’s how it works:
For Existing PS3 Edition Owners (Disc or Digital)
On the PS4, simply log into PlayStation Store and find Minecraft PS4 Edition, and you’ll be able purchase the upgrade for $4.99.
Note: This entitlement applies to everyone who’s bought Minecraft PS3 Edition (Disc or Digitally) with a saved game and signed into their PS4 console using the same SEN account.
About to Purchase Minecraft PS3 Edition (Digital)
On the PS3, purchase Minecraft PS3 Edition for $19.99. Once you have made the purchase, you’ll be able to upgrade to the PS4 Edition for $4.99.
About to Purchase Minecraft PS3 Edition (Disc)

Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you in the world of Minecraft PS4!
@+ luke-s26 You’ll have to do what I did, which is contact Sony on the UK support page: http://uk.playstation.com/contact-us/#tab-705499
Or the chat page which doesn’t seem to be working right now: http://en.support.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/app/chat/chat_launch
Tell them you bought the disc version of PS3 Minecraft and you want the discounted upgrade price to the PS4 version. You’ll have to take a picture of your receipt and send it to them. Then they should send you a code to redeem on PSN for the discount.
on the phone for almost an hour!! agent said that you need a receipt to get the discount. the PS3 game I have was a gift to my son which was paid in cash by his godfather (who no longer has it) so there is no way for me to actually get a receipt for it. I told them I can send them an actual pic of the game to let them know I have but they keep on insisting for the receipt.
I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to get the Vita cross-buy because of this issue. how I wish Sony support is more consumer friendly like Amazon where even the smallest of complaints are resolved easily. and this is coming from a loyal PS customer since PS1.
How do I upgrade my ps3 disc version to ps4
Can you play with people from ps3 minecraft?
it comes with a special code
Okay, I’ve been looking for the answer to this question forever now and I’m dying not having the answer within my grasp. I have the disc copy of Minecraft for the PS3. Will I be able to download the PSVita version for free when it releases, or am I subject to buying an entirely new copy? I really hope that I do not have to shell out another $20.
@+Unfried_Bacon: You’ll have to do what I did: take a picture of the receipt for the disc version, then contact Sony on the chat support page and tell them you have it, and you want to get the discount for the PS4 version (if you didn’t do that already), and send them a picture of the receipt. If you’ve already done so, you’ll have to wait for the PS Vita version to release to see if it works. This is what I did and I really hope it works.
Will the psvita version be 5$ or free with existing ps3 disk version?
