In a matter of days, Minecraft for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be hitting the stores. The target release date is set for August, as announced by Mojang, the producer of the hit game.

According to Epoch Times, the suggested price for the Xbox One version is $19.99. If you already have Minecraft: Xbox 360, it will only cost $4.99 to get an upgrade. You can import the saves from the 360 version into the Xbox One version.

The PS4 and PS Vita editions of Minecraft will also be sold at $19.99 and the upgrade from PS3 to PS4 will cost you $4.99. It is said that all the features found in the latest PS3 release will be included in the new versions.

Mojang also announced that they are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to find ways for the Blu-Ray disc version of Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition to be upgraded into the Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition.

Just like with Xbox One, all the saves in PlayStation 3 + Vita Edition and PlayStation 3 Edition can be imported into PlayStation 4 but this cannot be done in reverse, meaning PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 3 transfer is not allowed as there will be many technical problems that can ensue.

Paddy Burns of 4J Studios revealed that the worlds in this next-gen version will be 36 times the size of the previous worlds and they are still looking at increasing it in later updates, The Guardian reports. The size cannot be infinite contrary to earlier statements by the developers of Minecraft because there are technical limitations in terms of memory usage due to online multiplayer gaming and save file sizes. Burns also revealed at with some editions, horses will be added.

For those wondering what will happen to the smaller map sizes from other versions, 4J Studios said that there will be in-game options in the new version to increase world sizes, allow players to change the current map size directly.
