Minecraft console developer 4J Studios announced over Twitter today that a new patch for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions of the game is currently in testing, a patch that should fix many of the launch bugs in the two next-gen ports.
Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition In Final Testing
The patch deals a bit with world saves and save transfers on both versions. Both next-gen console ports are able to import world save files from their last-gen predecessors, though both processes had a few hiccups. This upcoming patch should fix those issues on both consoles.
The patch also adds a new "Copy Save" function, so players can back up their more precious world saves and maybe even store them elsewhere for safe keeping.
