If you are a regular listener to the GodCast here at GodisaGeek.com, and are up to date on the latest episode, you’ll have heard that Editor-in-Chief Calvin Robinson proclaimed that he finally understands (and now loves) the phenomenon that is Minecraft.

The announcement today that Minecraft is available from today for Xperia Play will more than likely send fans into a frenzy, giving them another place to play their beloved title.

The Pocket Edition of the game has been fully optimized for the world’s first PlayStation certified smartphone, allowing gamers to take control using the slide out gaming pad and ecosystem.

Indie developer Mojang has set the industry alight with Minecraft, as the most downloaded paid-for independent PC game of all time. Winning critics and fans over with its clever and addictive gameplay, the title boasts more than 11 million registered users and more than 50,000 new players joining every day. Minecraft is one of the fastest growing game franchises in history, boasting such popularity while still only offered in Beta with constant updates and feature additions.

The Pocket Edition of Minecraft will also be updated regularly with new features. Mojang have stated it is treating game development as a service; ensuring players always have the best possible gaming experience.

Capturing the core features and gameplay of the PC version in Beta, the highly anticipated Minecraft Android OS gaming app is focused on creativity and building, allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Optimized for Xperia PLAY, the app provides a truly immersive experience for players enabling them to navigate the game using the Xperia™ PLAY’s gamepad featuring the iconic PlayStation® keys and buttons.

Minecraft Pocket Edition is available now for £4.26
