Ever wondered if the Minecraft version on Nintendo Switch is Bedrock or Java? You’re not alone! This question is on the minds of many gamers around the world.
Let’s dive into which Minecraft edition you get to play on your Nintendo Switch.
Quick Answer: It’s Bedrock!
The Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft is the Bedrock edition. This means you get to enjoy cross-play with friends no matter what device they’re playing on, as long as it’s running the Bedrock edition too.
The Bedrock edition is designed to be a cross-platform experience, allowing players on different devices to play together. It’s a bit different from the Java edition, which is more PC-centric and offers different modding capabilities.
