PlayStation players are getting a little something extra, as well. To celebrate the first birthday of Minecraft: PlayStation Edition, console developer 4J Studios announced that a free Birthday Skin Pack is going live today on PSN. The developer's tweet mentions that today is the release date only in Europe, but based on how these skin packs have rolled out on PlayStation previously, American PlayStation players can expect to see a similar free pack going live in the next few weeks.
