Minecraft Coming to PlayStation 3 This Week

Minecraft is on its way to PlayStation 3 this week according to the PlayStation Blog. Mojang's Owen Hill announced the news and the game is set for North America tomorrow and Europe on Wednesday in the PlayStation Store update.

Hill commented: 

"PlayStation 3 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. Downloadable skins and texture packs will be available from PlayStation Store soon after release."

He also said that PlayStation themed texture packs and skins would be "cool" but gave no promises that they would arrive on the Store. 

To mark the release, a new trailer for the PlayStation 3 version of Minecraft was released and can be seen below. It's likely that the PS4 and PS Vita versions will be released in early 2014 but Mojang does not currently know whether the PS3 Edition will feature remote play compatibility with those versions.
