Minecraft Could Be Building a New Home on PlayStation

Posted by Sammy Barker

Setting up sticks

Mojang’s ubiquitous build ‘em up Minecraft could be about to construct a new resting place on PlayStation platforms if comments made by lead designer Jens Bergensten are to be believed. “Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles,” he told EDGE. ”When it runs out we’ll consider Minecraft for PlayStation.”

Bergensten’s ambiguous statement means that PS3, PS4, and Vita could all be on the cards. Minecraft launched on the Xbox 360 in May last year, presumably as part of a one year timed exclusivity deal. Which PlayStation platform would you most like to see the cult title tunnel its way onto? Let us know in the comments section below.

Of course he'll release it to Sony. He would be an idiot if he didn't want more money right?

I'd pick it up, but I can't see myself playing it above the PC version very often.

Minecraft on Vita would be a pretty great selling point all things considered.

Wow, Xbox fanboys are going to rage when they hear about this. That aside, I would love to see this on the Vita, it would be a great selling point for people who want to mine on the go.

Hmm... I could see minecraft on the vita and PS3. And then they could implement cross play with PS3! That would be cool!

I think PS4 for would be the best fit to eliminate world sizes and stuff. Vita would also be a great way for minecraft on the go, it world size would be around the 360 version so that would be a great idea. The peopel who want MC on the 3ds need to think about the world size restriction. Plus it might have a hard time with a bunch of other things as well. I personally wouldn't care to get it on PS4, vita or whatever though cause I don't really want to buy it again since I have it on PC and I'm happy with that version.

This is genuinely the one game that would make me buy a 360. I love playing it on PC, but multiplayer is so hard to set up if you don't know what you're doing. I really hope this happens!

My daughter plays this obsessively on her iPod. Would pick it up if it came to the PS3.

What's the appeal of Minecraft? I've never played it, but have watched plenty of YouTube vids of it. Not bashing, but genuinely curious what do people love about it so much?
