Well, the ordeal is finally over — Minecraft PlayStation 4 Edition is available right now on the European PlayStation Store, while it's promised for release on the North American store at some point today.
As you may already know, yesterday's store update's apparent lack of Mojang's title had many in an uproar after it was all but confirmed to be there by PlayStation France. Thankfully, the Twitter account wasn't completely wrong in that the release dug its way online late last night.
Anyway, the wait is over, and the best part is that you can get the PS4 edition for much less if you already own the game on PS3. For Europeans, the next-gen version will only set you back €3.99/£3.69 if you have Minecraft PS3 on disc or digitally. Meanwhile, North Americans can nab the title for $4.99 under the same deal.
It sounds like a reasonable price for an upgrade to us, but we daresay some of you would be willing to pay in full just to finally live out your block-filled life on Sony's newest console. Have you already hit the download button? Breath a sigh of relief in the comments section below.

Send me my frickin disc
Well it's not "for cheap" for PS4 owners, because they already paid the money for the PS3 version and it should be cross-buy in the first place :/
Can you play mini games like the pc version? a server with alot of different minigames lile the hunger games one
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to upgrade from the xbox360 version. Won't be buying it full price again
I think you guys should also put the euro currency on the articles
@MoleZandor who am I kidding, I probably will.
Yay I'm super happy!! There no cross buy in place, as I had it for Xbox 360... But I don't care it's only £12.99 so brought it and been playing it since I got in from my night shift!! Maybe one should think of going to bed now haha
Now, the Vita version..
I think the upgrade price is nice. While free x-buy is always better for us, this seems like much more than just a port of the PS3 version from what I've read and the company doing the upgrade deserves some money. The Vita version seems like the PS3 version - minus the very cool 4-player split screen - so maybe that should be free w/ the PS3 or PS4 version.
What exactly is the purpose of mine craft? Do you just build whatever you want? How long does it take to gather materials? Are there enemies? I just would like a description from someone who has it. I'm really interested. Thx in advance.
sad to say I got minecraft on 360 so I'll have to pay full (because no way am I geting it on xb1 that console is just a pain to use, the UI is horrible, it's slower than the ps4 and everything is an app that I swear you have to update every week glad it only cost me £100)
I never understood how this game is so popular. I played it for a bit and was bored of it in five minutes.
@rjejr vita version IS free with ps3 version! =) dunno about the ps4 one.
@ztpayne7 - Well there you have it. So all 3 versions would be $25 rather than say $60. I'ld say that's a pretty good deal.
Awesome! I will be downloading later today. Also, any word on the vita port? I thought they were to be launched side by side.
@Ps4all The Vita version is still coming, but there's no confirmed release date. I reckon it should be out pretty soon, though.
Between this and destiny, I think that I may not talk to my family again until Oct.
@ShogunRok Awesome! I loved minecraft pocket edition but the controls left something to be desired. I wonder if there will be a "downgrade" option where I can get the vita version for $5 since I own the ps4 version.
