Minecraft: PS3 Edition getting a physical release in May

UPDATE: Sony has now confirmed that Minecraft: PS3 Edition will be getting a Blu-Ray release on May 14. The announcement comes in a new post on the PlayStation Blog.

"Following on from the successful [digital] release we’re pleased to confirm that Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition will be available on disc from 14th May, 2014 in all PAL regions," says the post. "That means you can go into a real-life store, buy it with your country’s currency of choice, then take it home in a little bag.

"It comes with all the features you’d expect from the console versions of Minecraft, along with everything that came with update 14, including Emeralds, Ender Chests, potatoes and more."

Mojang has also teased the game's box art for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 versions, which looks identical to the PS3 box above, barring the logos and blue covers.

ORIGINAL STORY:

It seems that Minecraft on PS3 will soon be getting a disc-based release, if a new report is anything to go by. PlayStation App users today received an email that advertised the release, claiming its due in shops on May 14.

The Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft has sold over 12 million copies to date, so a physical release on PS3 seems a likely move. It's also coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the near future.
