Sony France announced yesterday that the digital versions of Mojang’s ‘Minecraft‘ will be available for download on the Play Station 4 later today.

ollowing the wild success of ‘Minecraft’ on other consoles such as the Xbox 360 in 2012 and the PS3 in 2013, there is little doubt that ‘Minecraft’ will excel on the PS4 as it currently dominates in the ‘console wars.’
