Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (or Minecraft: PS Vita Edition) is the PlayStation Vita version of Minecraft in development by 4J Studios for and alongside Mojang.[5] A teaser was hinted by 4J Studios on Twitter,[6] and a screenshot published a month later.[7] In a response to 4J, Jens Bergensten (Jeb) also informed that it is based on PlayStation 3 Edition.[8]

PlayStation 3 Edition also has some level of connectivity with PlayStation Vita Edition; the game at the PlayStation Store incorporates the so called Cross-Buy, which by purchasing either PlayStation 3 Edition or PlayStation Vita Edition, you will get the other edition as well for free. Saved worlds are also transferable between the consoles.[9]

PlayStation Vita Edition also uses ad hoc networking for "on the go" and online multiplayer, but instead of 8 players in one game it supports up to 4 players, because it would have caused framerate issues in multiplayer.[citation needed]

PlayStation Vita Edition became available for purchase on the PlayStation Network on October 14 in North America and on October 15 in Europe.[10] It had a retail release in stores on November 11 (North America),[11] November 19 (Europe) and November 21 (United Kingdom and Ireland).[12]

Trivia

The game supported more than 4 players at some point during development.
