Minecraft Xbox One, PS4 Release Date, Price And Updates: Delay On The Release Of The Upcoming Minecraft Game Blamed On Bugs

It is presumed that Minecraft for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be released before this month ends. However, 4J studio, the game developer says that they are working on it. They said that bugs are the reason for the delay of the release of the game. Over the weekend, it said in a tweet, "We're still working our way through the bugs. We'll let you know when we hand over to the Cert testing teams!"

The Xbox One and PS4 versions are said to be about 36 times larger than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. A report early of this month said that a GameStop listing showed that Minecraft: Xbox One Edition would come out on 19^th August. There are rumors that say that Minecraft Vita Edition and the PS4 will be released at the time as the Xbox One edition. The 4J Studios, which is in charge for all the console port is working on the release of Xbox One and PS4 versions. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions have been kept update with DLC pack and other patches.

The Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game were however, delayed by almost one year as they were expected to be released in 2013. One of the reasons why it was delayed was so that the team working on it could add new features to it. Some characteristics of the improved versions include improved draw distance, higher resolution and the capacity to import saves.

According to the official blog of Xbox, the game will be sold at $ 19.99. It is also possible that others might save a lot of money as shared by Xbox Wire, "If you're moving up from "Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition." The Xbox One upgrade will cost you a mere $4.99. The good news is that you can upgrade at the same price for a full year from when the game is released."

The biggest reason why most of the gamers choose to play games on PC instead of consoles is because of its graphics. It is very obvious that if one has a good computer, the visual will be far much better than the consoles.
