"Minecraft Xbox One Edition" may finally be coming after a series of delays and problems in the process.

4J Studious has submitted "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" for testing, they have also resubmitted the PS4 version after submitting it earlier only to have Sony find bugs that still needed to be fixed. 

The information was posted in the studio's Twitter account. The post said, "#MinecraftPS4 is back with Sony for final testing.Fingers crossed..."

Last week, the Minecraft PlayStation 4 Edition had failed in its first try to acquire a certification from Sony after the gaming console maker discovered several issues with it, after retooling it, Minecraft for PS4 is back in testing.

"Minecraft Xbox One Edition" should be joining it soon. 4J Studios also said via Twitter, "Down to the last few bugs with #MinecraftXbox1 - hoping to hand it over to Microsoft by the end of the week!"

Game certifications normally last for two weeks or less before giving the go-ahead signal for it to be released in the market. 

Both Minecraft: PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will also get a minor update to allow players to transfer worlds from the earlier version to either the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4 editions. 4J tweeted "A small #MinecraftXBLA update is in test. This adds the ability to transfer Xbox 360 saves to #MinecraftXBox1 ahead of its release," said 4J. It added: "A small #MinecraftPS3 update is also in test. This adds the ability to upload PS3 saves for #MinecraftPS4 & #MinecraftPSVita."

Next-gen "Minecraft" will have 36 times larger worlds, better graphics and draw distance. It will cost 19.99, unless you have the PS3 verison or Xbox 360 version, in which case it is just a 4.99 dollar upgrade.  They should be here sometime in September. 

Minecraft has over 54 million copies sold across all the platforms.
