Minecraft Launches PS4, Vita, Xbox one In August

The Xbox One, PS4 and Vita versions of Minecraft are due to launch in August for $20, Mojang announced today. On Xbox One and PS4, the game costs $5 for those who already own Minecraft on Xbox 360 or PS3. The Vita edition is a Cross-Buy game, meaning that if already own Minecraft on PS3 you can play it on Vita for free. All PS3 DLC will work with the Vita version, but not all skins and texture packs will work on PS4 or Xbox One versions, due to licensing deals.

Minecraft: Xbox One and PS4 editions include bigger worlds than current-gen versions, and they both allow users to import save data from Xbox 360 and PS3 + Vita games respectively. However, saves aren''t transferred from next-gen systems to current gen systems.

Mojang says that there are technical reasons for why this is the case. "We can make the world bigger without stress However, shrinking them can cause various issues."

The $5 upgrade program will remain in place for at least one year after the August launches. [Image: Mojang]
