The long-awaited release of Minecraft on PS3 is just hours away, Mojang has confirmed.

The game will hit PSN for PS3 on Wednesday (December 18th) in Europe. It will be available in the US tomorrow (December 17th).

A Vita version of the game is in development but will not be released until 2014.

Minecraft: PS3 Edition comes with everything present in other console versions. They’re pretty much identical to play, and will be developed in tandem from now on,” Mojang’s Owen Hill confirmed.

Downloadable skins and texture packs will be available from PSN soon after release.”
