Minecraft for PS3 Under Consideration, Says Mojang

March 5, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

Minecraft may be coming to the PS3, but not for the Wii U.

Mojang's Jens Bergensten has been hard at work on Minecraft ever since Notch decided to pursue the development of other projects at the studio. The designer, who's currently working on the Minecraft Pocket Edition for iOS and Android stated that the studio is considering releasing a version of the game on the PlayStation 3.

"Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles," said Bergensten in an interview with iGamer (via Edge). "When it runs out we’ll consider Minecraft for PlayStation, but Wii U is very unlikely."

“The biggest challenge has been, and still is, finding the lowest common denominator for all the various mobile models there are on the market. It’s an obstacle to a lot of features that we have on the PC version, such as infinite worlds and redstone contraptions. Over time we’ll have to drop more and more models in order to add fun stuff to Pocket Edition.”

It's interesting to note that while the game has been available on the Xbox 360 for some time now, it still lags heavily behind the PC version due to Microsoft's certification process. It very much remains to be seen whether the PS3 version of the game will go through the same hassles as its Xbox counterpart.
