How to Play Minecraft Cross-Platform: A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how to play Minecraft with friends who have different devices? You’re in luck! We’re about to dive into the exciting world of cross-platform play in Minecraft.

So, you’re eager to build, explore, and survive with buddies on various devices but not sure how to start? Let’s clear up the confusion on how to cross-platform Minecraft.

Quick Answer: Yes, You Can Play Minecraft Cross-Platform

Minecraft supports cross-platform play, but there’s a catch. You need to have the Minecraft Bedrock Edition. This version is simply called ‘Minecraft’ on most stores and is available on PC (Windows 10 and above), Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS.

To play together, everyone must be running the same version of Minecraft. Also, you need a Microsoft account to join friends on different devices. After that, you can invite each other using your Microsoft account’s friend list. It’s that easy!

Connecting with Friends Across Different Devices

First, ensure you and your friends have the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft and a Microsoft account. Then, one of you needs to create a world and open it to your friends. You can do this by pressing ‘Pause’ in-game, going to ‘Invite to Game’, and choosing friends to invite. They’ll receive an invite to join your world!

Remember, for console players, you might need an additional subscription like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus for online play. Once set up, you can embark on adventures together, regardless of the platform.
