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)
Those joining the Minecraft experience through disc purchase should find a voucher packed in with an entitlement code. If you have any questions, please reach out on @AskPlayStation on Twitter or our official Customer Support channel.
Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you in the world of Minecraft PS4!
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
No that is still possible
