Minecraft Comes To PlayStation 3 December 17
Minecraft has put up huge numbers on PC and Xbox 360 (blasting past 10 million copies sold on Microsoft’s platform recently). Now, another group is going to get its hands on Mojang’s blocky masterpiece.
Starting tomorrow, PlayStation 3 players can download Minecraft. This new version features everything from the other console versions.
Downloadable skins and textures are coming soon, and there is hope for PlayStation-specific content. (Kratos and Nathan Drake would make great Minecraft characters, wouldn’t they?)
PlayStation 4 and Vita versions are also in the works. Mojang suggests that those will be coming next year. You can read our review of the most comparable edition, the one found on Xbox 360, here.

Our Take
Minecraft is the new Tetris or Pac-Man. It’s going to be the title that’s available wherever you want it, whenever you want it. I’ve not yet been bitten by the bug, but seeing some of the amazing creations out there, I’m definitely tempted to try my hand at it.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
