With its Xperia Play exclusivity deal expired, Minecraft will be available for all Android devices when developer Mojang releases it on the Android Market this Thursday.

While the Xperia Play version - which we recently playtested - made use of the handset's d-pad and buttons, the full release of Minecraft: Pocket Edition uses touchscreen controls, as shown in the below video.

The hugely successful game, which has sold more than three million copies on PC, is also headed to iOS - "eventually," the developer told Gamasutra - and Xbox 360.
