How to Play Minecraft Cross-Platform: A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how you can play Minecraft with friends who own different gaming devices? Let’s dive into how to make that happen!

So, you’re looking to play Minecraft across different platforms, right? Well, you’re in for some good news because it’s definitely possible and easier than you might think.

Simple Steps to Play Minecraft Cross-Platform

First things first, to play Minecraft with friends across different devices, everyone needs to be running the same version of the game – the “Bedrock Edition.” This version is available on PC (Windows 10 and above), Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS.

Next, all players need to have a Microsoft account and be friends on Xbox Live, regardless of the device they’re playing on. You can easily create a Microsoft account online if you don’t have one already. Then, just add your friends using their Xbox Gamertag.

Connecting Across the Minecraft Universe

After everyone is friends on Xbox Live, just launch Minecraft and head to the ‘Friends’ tab. Here, you should see your friends’ games that you can join. It’s that simple! Whether they’re playing on a phone, a console, or a PC, you can hop into their world and start building together.

Remember, you all need to be using the “Bedrock Edition” of Minecraft. If you’re playing on PC and owning the Java Edition, you’ll need to grab the Bedrock Edition from the Microsoft Store to play with friends on other platforms.
