'Minecraft' Will Launch For Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita This August For $19.99

"Minecraft" is finally coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita this August.

The creators at Mojang have posted a blog about the title's release on next-gen consoles.

"Apologies for the delay, but putting Minecraft on new consoles is a serious business. People have been using phrases like 'logistically-speaking,' 'infinite terrain,' and 'platform parity' for months now," Mojang said.

"We've decided that letting current players upgrade for a small fee is the best way to show our appreciation. If you're a new crafter who's looking to pick up Minecraft in the next few months - welcome!"

Check out the what "Minecraft" features will be available for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita in the list below, according to Mojang.
