How to Cross-Play Minecraft: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can play Minecraft with friends on different devices? Let’s explore how to make that happen.
Do you want to join worlds with friends who use different gaming platforms? We’re talking about the cool feature of cross-playing in Minecraft.
Yes, You Can Cross-Play Minecraft!
Minecraft allows players on different devices to play together. It does not matter if you are on a PC and your friend is on a PlayStation. You can still team up and enjoy the game together.
To make cross-play work, every player needs to have the same version of Minecraft. This means if you’re playing the Bedrock Edition, your friends also need to have that edition on their devices. Minecraft Bedrock Edition is available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
Setting Up Cross-Play in Minecraft
To start cross-playing, first, ensure everyone has a Microsoft account and is friends on Xbox Live. This is required even for playing on non-Xbox devices. Then, on the main menu, select “Sign in with a Microsoft account” and follow the instructions.
After everyone is connected, the player who wants to host the game needs to load their world. They then pause the game, go to the menu, and invite their friends. Friends accept the invitation, and just like that, you’re playing Minecraft together, regardless of the platform.
