The popular game Minecraft is now available on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While the graphics haven't changed, the updated game features worlds that are 36 times larger than those on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Minecraft is available for $19.99 for new customers. Those users who previously purchased the game on the PS3 or Xbox 360 can upgrade to the new version for $4.99.

Existing players also have the ability to import their PS3 and Xbox 360 saved worlds to the PS4 andXbox One editions, which means all that time you spent recreating King's Landing won't go to waste.
