4J Studios has released a screenshot of Minecraft on PS4 via Twitter. Floating about in creative mode, the nice sunny day in the world of Minecraft leaves a glimmer of hope behind it. Little has been said regarding the PS4 iteration of Minecraft so it’s nice to see that it’s coming along well.
Mojang released a new DLC for its ultra-popular survival game Minecraft, focusing on a crossover with the Stranger Things TV series.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella boasted records for players on PC and Xbox Content and Services Revenue, on top of Minecraft Monthly Active Users.
Amy Hood also provided the prediction for the current quarter.

So if they do bad, they suck!
And if the do good, they suck!...ok got it lol.
I think I'll post my comment from the other thread here soon, maybe, just maybe, some people might read it and realize that all these companies do very similar things....ha!! Who am I kidding...carry on good people.
The last thing Microsoft needs is to enrage the PlayStation community and have them boycott Microsoft games releases on PlayStation
See, this is part of what I think is a problem in gaming with "Hardcore" fans.... because of what MS may say that "Sony" gamers might not like, they would deny themselves a game that they wanna play?
That may be the problem, we put BS, made up slights, before being actually gamers.
I mean, I haven't bought any Microsoft game on PlayStation since they started porting their games over. Most of that comes from a major lack of trust in them as a company. Microsoft only ever does moves to hurt the competition so they can ultimately dominate. They are certainly not hurting for cash. Their end goal is to move the goal posts so that everyone is using their cloud servers but that isn't enough for Microsoft, they want to have the cloud servers and be the entertainment company on top of that.
In honour of PlayStation's 30th birthday yesterday in the US, data company Circana has dug out figures showing the top 20 best-selling PlayStation video games ever (date-range Jan 1995 to July 2025). Don't get too excited.
This is a great reminder of how game sales have become more concentrated in a smaller number of games/series over time. In the PS1/PS2 era a game was a success if it sold a million or a few million copies. The GTA games (3/Vice City/San Andreas) were pretty big outliers in selling as much as they did during the PS2 era. So in the minds of a lot of gamers something like FF VII feels like it was as big of a PS1 game as God of War 2018 was for PS4, but in reality far fewer people bought it (though it has obviously reached additional people through remasters, etc.).
What this says to me is, not many people are buying a PS to play PS exclusives. Like so many false narratives, like Xbox gamers don't buy games! It seems Playstation as a default system is a vanilla system to play call of duty, Minecraft, GTA games and a sports games.
if you look back into the PS history, it has always been the 3rd parties who sells the most games. it was just that the PS1 and PS2 were so dominant that many of those 3rd party games were exclusives. so, back during the PS1 and PS2 days, the strategy was "to sell as many consoles as possible in order to sell more 1st party exclusives" to ride on that wave. The strategy to push many 1st party exclusives to sell consoles only started with the PS3 when many of those prior 3rd party exclusives went multiplat but more accurately, it started with the PSP.
Sony saw with the PSP, which was being trounced in sales by the DS, that 3rd party exclusives are hard to come by if you're not dominating the market. So they started building more 1st party games and when the PS3 were facing difficulties in sales, they knew they had to rely on their own to differentiate the PS3 from the 360. So the strategy back then changed to "release more 1st party exclusives in order to sell more consoles".
the only manufacturer that is still consistently selling their hardware to play 1st party exclusives, is Nintendo, and that was because they gave up the armrace for power thus they can't rely on 3rd parties anymore as all multiplats play better on competing consoles. AND that's also why they are the most ominous in going after emulators and also patent trolling!
so, you're not wrong there, but not an "aha!" moment or anything. it has been this way since the last, at least, 15 years for Playstation.
@zerobalance
So... what this tells you is that Call of duty, being the absolute check writer that it is, has been outsold by Last of us, God of war, 2 Spider man games..... Saying Playstation exclusives doesn't sell is like saying call of duty doesn't sell because they have outsold some of iterations. Does that make sense to you?
I hope they are taking this long because they are making the best version of the game.... It's been a while already and this was supposed to be a launch title.
I expected it to look better LOL just kidding ;)
Would've been surprising if they added shaders but who am I kidding, that would have take work. It looks like another straight up port.
Fuuuuu, next gen is here.
This is news?
I suppose I am glad they released these screenshots after all. At least now I know what the game looks like.
