Finally…
(Update: 4/9/2014)
Minecraft for PS4 is still delayed, according to Mojang’s Jens Bergensten. The developer was responding to an eager fan on Twitter when he broke the news.
@JordanBrett27 Not yet, sorry. A couple of last minute show stoppers appeared, which has delayed everything. Soon™

However, some users in the UK and Ireland are able to download and play Minecraft for PS4, so maybe there’s something else at play…
Yes, you read the title right, Minecraft for PS4 is finally making its way to the PlayStation Store!
4J’s port of the immensely popular block-building survival game is finally getting it’s release on the PS4, as confirmed by PlayStation France via Twitter.
The firm was asked by an eager fan if the game would be releasing today, to which PlayStation France replied with this tweet.
@BarraultBastien bonjour, la version dématérialisée oui, demain. Pas de date pour la version physique

Minecraft for PS4 and Xbox One has had a few hiccups along the way, with the PlayStation 4 version initially being rejected for certification by Sony, but all is well now. The Xbox One version, last we heard, had been passed on to Microsoft for certification and should be appearing on the Xbox One very shortly.
However, the PS Vita version is still delayed, and we’ve no idea when it’ll release on the platform but we’ve been told that it’ll be “soon.”
Keep an eye out for the PlayStation Store update later today and be ready to transfer your PS3 worlds over to the PS4, for which you’ll need to do within Minecraft on PS3.
So far it’s only the UK and Europe that is confirmed to be getting the release today, but we imagine that the North American store will get the title sometime this week.
