Minecraft has been released on every platform known to man in the last nine years or so, but support for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PlayStation Vita editions is being wrapped up after the release of the Aquatic update.
Writing in a new blog post, developer Majong revealed that while these versions of the game will benefit from the next major update, the fact they make up less than 5% of the game's player base means they won't be receiving any additional support going forward.
'We’ve made the difficult decision to focus our efforts to support players where they play Minecraft the most and where we plan to add new features: on Java, PlayStation 4 Edition and the versions of Minecraft made with the Bedrock Engine on other consoles, mobile, and Windows 10,' reads the post.
Minecraft was originally released back in 2009 and has since become a global phenomenon. It's currently standing as the second best-selling video game of all time, with over a massive 144 million copies sold globally; only Tetris has flogged more units, and that came out in the mid-1980s.
