A recent announcement has confirmed that Minecraft is set to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One within a month. Rumor has it that the PS4 and Xbox version will be release sometime this August.

Developer 4J Studios recently tweeted, "We can see the light at the end of the tunnel! #MinecraftXbox1 #MinecraftPS4 #MinecraftPSVita."

While the screenshots of the new version were accessible via Play XBLA, the game on the next-gen consoles does not seem much different than the existing PS3/Xbox 360 copies. However, reports start that the game world is 36 times larger.

Play XBLA reported, "The team over at 4J Studios tweeted out the image below. As you can see they are hard at work and are enjoying the increased viewing distance. Anyone know what this is? Read on to see the answer, as well as some more screenshots from the upcoming Xbox One release!"

Meanwhile Gamespot reported that as of this week, Minecraft (released four years ago), has sold 16 million copies for the PC and Mac. In February, the game's sales were at 14 million, and overall, Minecraft has sold 54 million across all platforms.
