Ever wondered if you need Xbox Live to dive into the blocky worlds of Minecraft? Let’s clear that up today.

Many gamers ask, “Do you need Xbox Live to play Minecraft?” and we’re here to give you the scoop.

Short Answer: It Depends

If you’re playing Minecraft on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S, you’ll need Xbox Live Gold to play online with friends. However, for single-player or local multiplayer, Xbox Live Gold isn’t required.

So basically, if you want to join in the fun with others online, Xbox Live Gold is a must. But for everything else, you’re good to go without it.
