For all those who are dying to know when Minecraft will finally launch on the PS Vita, and worse yet those who believe it will never come out due to the whole Microsoft thing, need to fear not. Minecraft PS Vita has finally received an ESRB rating, meaning the game has passed testing and is so very close to release.
Minecraft PS4 got an ESRB rating after finally passing testing on a Monday, then got released that same Thursday. I am not necessarily saying the same scenario will occur for the PS Vita, but I don't see why it couldn't. However generally speaking games often launch about a week or two after recieving their ratings from the ESRB. This means that it wouldn't be unlikely for fans to see the beloved sandbox on the Vita as early as Tuesday, September 30th.
Originally Minecraft was supposed to launch in August, but after failing testing and running into several bumps in development the game got pushed back into development. We could very likely see it by the end of this month though.
