PlayStation 4 Edition

Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition (also known as Minecraft: PS4 Edition) was the PlayStation 4 edition of Minecraft being developed by 4J Studios for Mojang.

Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition was announced at Sony's exhibit at Gamescom 2013. Like almost all other games that will be released on the PS4, PS4 Edition can be played on the PlayStation Vita through Remote Play. It was released on September 4, 2014.

After the Better Together Update, this edition was the only version of Legacy Console Edition still being updated. It matched the now discontinued Xbox One Edition in available content, such as large size and amplified world options.

At the time of Bedrock Edition's release, Sony disallowed cross-play for PlayStation. However, on December 9, 2019, it was announced that PlayStation 4 would be getting access to Bedrock Edition, starting with Bedrock Edition 1.14.0. On December 10, PlayStation 4 received the Bedrock platform, officially discontinuing the edition, and therefore, the final discontinuation of all platforms of the Legacy Console codebase versions.

Controls
In default settings, the controls are always displayed on the HUD. The controls for PlayStation 4 Editions are similar to the PlayStation 3 Edition.

Gameplay
The game is similar to PlayStation 3 Edition, but supports the enhancements offered by the PlayStation 4 (increased view distance, Small, Medium and Large worlds and DualShock 4 touchpad support). Worlds made on the PlayStation 3 or the PlayStation Vita editions can also be transferred onto this edition. This allows players to expand the world size of a classic sized world (one map).
