While Minecraft and developer Mojang will soon be in the hands of console war competitors Microsoft, this is not halting any upcoming console release of the popular sandbox adventure game. Following the digital PlayStation 4 launch of Minecraft just weeks ago, Sony Computer Entertainment have confirmed that the retail edition will be available from stores starting October 3rd 2014.
There will be no content differences between the digital and retail editions. A patch is however confirmed to simultaneously be released with retail edition that may include new features.
