Minecraft PS3 Edition is now available on PSN

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 18, 2013

News: Mojang releases Minecraft for PS3 and promises that it is on par with other console versions of the game.

Minecraft is now available on the PS3 according to Owen Hill from Mojang. Create your very own game world and explore, build and conquer. When night falls the monsters appear, so ensure you’ve made yourself a shelter before they arrive. Make it through the night and the world is only limited by your imagination. You choose what you want to make or what to do. You can play on your own, cooperatively with friends in two player and four player split screen modes or online with up to eight players.

To help celebrate the release of Minecraft on PS3, Owen answered some of the more popular questions that they have been receiving. Those questions include:

----------

Does Minecraft: PS3 Edition feature everything from the other versions of Minecraft?

Minecraft: PS3 Edition comes with everything present in other console versions. They’re pretty much identical to play, and will be developed in tandem from now on.

Will Minecraft: PS3 Edition feature DLC texture packs and skins?

Downloadable skins and texture packs will be available from PSN soon after release.

Will there be PlayStation-specific content?

PlayStation-specific skins and texture packs would be cool! Fingers crossed, eh?

Will Minecraft: PS3 Edition feature Remote Play or compatibility with the PS4 or PS Vita editions?

We don’t know yet, sorry. We’ll let you know as soon as we do.

Does Herobrine feature in Minecraft: PS3 Edition?

Probably not.
