Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition (also known as Minecraft: PS3 Edition) is the PlayStation 3 version of Minecraft, developed by 4J Studios for Mojang.

Gameplay
The gameplay in Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition is identical to the Xbox 360 Edition, with no major differences in content as of update 1.02, except Ocelot usage and the loss of Xbox Live, which is replaced with a PSN account. As part of the free downloadable demo, the tutorial map can be accessed without purchasing the game. You cannot change your skin in the demo version, but you can play split screen. However, you can not reset the Nether.

Skin packs
4J Studios plans to produce Skin Packs as downloadable content. Each Skin Pack is said to include 40+ skins to choose from. The first Skin Pack for Playstation 3, Festive Skin Pack was released on the same day when Minecraft Playstation 3 Edition was released which was December 17th 2013.

Skin Pack 1 was released on March 27th 2014.

The Battle & Beasts Skin Pack was also released on March 27th 2014.
