Minecraft has officially wrapped on updating the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, and Wii U versions of the game, with the Nightmare Before Christmas Mash-up Pack capping things off for those platforms.

4J Studios confirmed the news in a Twitter post, encouraging users to post their memories of Minecraft for last-gen consoles.

To be fair, Minecraft has supported those platforms for a while now. The Xbox 360 edition launched back in 2012, with PS3 following a year later and PS Vita and Wii U getting the game in October 2014 and December 2015, respectively.

There's been a total of 73 updates for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft since launch, and in that time the game has notched up over 21 million players for Microsoft's last-gen machine. Not too shabby, eh?

As for Minecraft as a whole, well, the game ranks as the second best-selling video game ever, behind Tetris.
