Mojang

In a recent post on mojang.com, creative writer Owen Hill has posted that a "slightly improved" version of Minecraft is on its way to Xbox One, PS4 and PS Vita this August.

We wrote earlier about the OpenSSL problem that meant hackers could easily and safely get sensitive user information from some two-thirds of major servers in the world. One of the first to react to the news was Minecraft publisher Mojang, and they've been quick with sharing information since as well. The first change they're making is that the legacy launcher will no longer be supported, and that third-party launchers will need to be updated.

Hundreds of websites and servers are to be affected after the discovery of a web-breaking bug that makes an estimated two-thirds of all servers accessible to hackers. Passwords, bank details and more could be available to those that know how to get them, and it's not just favourite websites that are affected. The Minecraft servers, for starters, have been temporarily shut down while developer Mojang looks into the problem.

  Mojang announced today on a company blog post that the Playstation 3 version of Minecraft broke 1 million sales in just five weeks. This is quite impressive for a PSN game, but it doesn’t come close to beating out the Xbox 360’s version which achieved the same goal in just five days. Still, it’s a nice feat worth bragging about.  Here’s the official blog post written by Daniel “Kappische” Kaplan: Hello all!Hope you are enjoying the picking and placing…

It's been quite a long time coming, but Minecraft is finally coming to PlayStation 3 over the next few days. It had previously been available on just about everything else, including mobile phones and Xbox 360. Those of you investing in a PS3 this Christmas, especially if it's for a young child, have picked just the right time to buy.

Daniel Kaplan from Mojang Games, developer of the immensely popular Minecraft, today tweeted the sales figures for all 3 platforms the game resides on.
