Following on from the rather successful release of Minecraft on PlayStation 3 in digital form, Mojang has revealed that the console will soon be getting a retail version in the form of a Blu-ray disc.

Developer 4J Studios launched Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition on PlayStation Network in mid-December, and has sold more than 1.5 million copies since then. The retail version will include all content updates through title update 14, which was released on PlayStation 3 last month; that patch brought Emeralds, Ender Chest, potatoes and more to Minecraft. Update 15, which is the most recent one, is not yet available.

According to Mojang, 4J is still working on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions of the sandbox game. The Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft has been available at retail since April 2013. You can check out a trailer for the Blu-ray release above, and see the box art below.
