Ever wondered how you can join your friends for a block-building adventure in Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right place!

Let’s dive into the specifics of playing Minecraft with friends on the Nintendo Switch.

Quick Steps to Multiplayer Madness

First thing’s first, to play Minecraft with your pals on the Switch, you need the game itself and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. Once you’ve got those, you’re almost ready to jump in.

From the main menu in Minecraft, you can choose to join a game, invite friends to your world, or even jump into a multiplayer server. The process is pretty straightforward, but remember, all players need to be friends on Nintendo’s network.

Enjoying the Adventure Together

Multiplayer in Minecraft on the Switch can happen in two main ways: online and local play. Online play lets you connect with friends far away, while local play is perfect for when you’re all in the same room.

For online play, you can either hop into a friend’s world or start your own. For local play, everyone needs their own Switch and a copy of Minecraft. Then, simply select ‘Local Network’ from the game menu, and you’re set!
