Yes, the deal is real. Mojang is being bought by Microsoft.
There are only a handful of potential buyers with the resources to grow Minecraft on a scale that it deserves. We’ve worked closely with Microsoft since 2012, and have been impressed by their continued dedication to our game and its development. We’re confident that Minecraft will continue to grow in an awesome way.
Microsoft acquired Mojang for a smooth 2.5 BILLION dollars.

Minecraft is everywhere. Merchandise of every kind. Discussed in every corner of gaming. On a whim I searched for "Minecraft movie," and there's one in the works. In an effort to reach every possible gamer, Minecraft is available to play on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
PlayStation Vita is coming in a few weeks. Xbox One is here tomorrow. PlayStation 4 is here today.
If you have been waiting for Minecraft to be released on the PlayStation 4, then we have some sad news for you. 4J Studios, the studio behind all console ports of the popular sandbox game, announced today through twitter that Sony had found issues with the PS4 version of Minecraft. 4J Studios is hard at work fixing the issues, but will then have to resubmit Minecraft for PS4 and go through the same testing processes again.
Minecraft has a massive community with a huge market for server hosting. As an alternative to unofficial sources, Mojang is now offering worldwide official servers with Minecraft Realms. With a cost between $10-$13/month and 10 maximum players (20 whitelisted), there are more thrifty deals out there. This is a great option for players who want the easiest possible server experience.
