Don’t Worry Minecraft Fans On PS4, Retail Discs Are Coming Soon
Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the $2.5 billion acquisition of Minecraft developer Mojang. While the Xbox team put to rest concerns about the game disappearing from some platforms, some players wondered about the fate of a PS4 retail release.
Sony has put those fears to rest, with a release date for the disc-based version of the game. You’ll be able to head to retail on October 7 to get your copy.
The digital version is available now, if you find yourself in desperate need of new-gen blockiness. As for those hoping to play on the go, more news for the Vita version will be along shortly.

Our Take
This should put to rest any concerns about Microsoft altering course for the game in the near term. Where things go over the long haul is going to be interesting to watch. We have some thoughts about that, which you can read if you’re interested.
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.
