Can You Get Minecraft Java on Nintendo Switch?
Last updated
Have you ever wondered if you can play Minecraft Java on your Nintendo Switch? Minecraft is one of the most popular games out there, and the Nintendo Switch is a hot console. So, it’s a fair question to ask.
Let’s dive right in and see if Minecraft Java Edition and the Nintendo Switch are a match made in gaming heaven.
Short and Sweet: No, But There’s Hope!
Currently, the Java Edition of Minecraft isn’t available on the Nintendo Switch. The Java Edition is specifically designed for PC, making it exclusive to that platform.
However, don’t feel down! The Nintendo Switch does have its own version of Minecraft, known as the Bedrock Edition. This version allows you to play with friends on various devices, not just the Switch.
