How to Crossplay Minecraft on PS4 and Xbox
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can join your friends in Minecraft, even if they’re playing on a different console like Xbox while you’re on your PS4? Let’s dig into that.
Can you actually play Minecraft across different consoles like PS4 and Xbox? Yes, you can, and we’re here to show you how.
Quick Answer: Yes, You Can Crossplay!
Minecraft offers a feature called cross-platform play, or ‘crossplay’ for short, which lets players on PS4 join friends on Xbox, and vice versa. Isn’t that cool?
To make it happen, all you need is a free Microsoft account. Once you link this account with your Minecraft game on your PS4 or Xbox, you’re set to play with friends on either console. Easy, right?

Here’s the simple step-by-step on getting you and your friends together in the world of Minecraft, no matter the console:
