Based on The Fuse Joplin report, both the Xbox One and PS4 Minecraft games will be priced at almost $20 or $19.99 to be exact in the U.S. For those PS3 owners who already own the game, they will receive the PS Vita version for free.

Similarly PS3 owners can also upgrade and get a PS4 copy as soon as it becomes available. The price of the game is the same with Xbox - $4.99. PS3 owners can easily import their game to PS4 console but not vice versa. The reason behind is the technical difference between a PS3 and a PS4.
