Minecraft PS3 Edition Gets Retail Release Date
The digital download version of Minecraft came out for the PlayStation 3 at the end of last year, and in a little bit the disc-based edition will be hitting brick-and-mortar stores.
The game will be on store shelves on May 16, and will include all the features in the Xbox 360 edition, including Update 14 (carrots on sticks for riding pigs, pumpkin pie, fixes, etc.).
Console Minecraft developers 4J Studios also say that work continues on the PS4 and Vita versions of the game, but an official release date has not been announced.

Our Take:
It sounds anti-climactic, but Minecraft's reach is so deep and broad that it's no small thing to make it accessible for your average person – who likely isn't into downloading games.
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.
