Americans can get Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition next week

Pixelated block building is finally coming to one of the best handheld gaming devices.

Sony Computer Entertainment America announced  today that Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition goes on sale Oct. 14. Players with the Sony handheld can buy the game digitally through Sony’s online store for $20. If you already own it on PS3, however, you also already own it on Vita thanks to the company’s Cross-Buy program. For those of you who bought Minecraft for the first time on PS4, well, you’ll need to plunk down another $20 to get it on the portable system. With this release, developer Mojang, which created Minecraft, has delivered every port of the Lego-like game that it has previously promised. It should help Minecraft, which has already sold 55 million copies across console, PC, and mobile, sell a ton more this holiday.
