As for the forthcoming PS4 and PS Vita versions of Minecraft, Mojang and 4J Studios have been quiet, with Mojang’s Owen Hill only offering up these vague answers about the date when asked this week, along with some other pieces of information:
- “We don’t have a date set for the Vita version yet sorry. As soon as we do, I’ll let you know!”
- “Sorry for the lack of info on cross buy/PS4/Vita. I understand that it might be frustrating for you guys, but we don’t want to make false promises until everything is set in cobblestone.”
- “4J are working on the PS4 and Vita versions as I type!”
- The PS4 and Xbox One versions will be out this year.
- The PS Vita version’s map size will be similar to the PS3 version.
- “There will almost definitely be a PS4 demo, just like the other versions.”
- The PS4 version of Minecraft won’t have mouse and keyboard support.
Owen also hinted at a retail release of Minecraft on PS3 by saying, “There is a high chance that it’ll come out on disc, yes.”
