Minecraft now spans millions of devices, unified via cross-platform multiplayer attributed to its shared 'Bedrock' engine. The unification breaks long-established barriers between platforms, including home console rivals, the Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Here's how to get started with cross-play for Minecraft today.

  1. Minecraft cross- play has finally come to PlayStation 4. Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is now on PS4, which means that PC, Xbox One, Switch, mobile, and PlayStation 4 fans can all play together like the great big happy family they are.
  2. Cross-platform can be played up to eight players across Windows 10 PCs, Android devices, iOS phones and tablets, Xbox One, and virtual reality platforms. As you will be downloading Java edition of Minecraft in Mac, you will not be able to use cross-platform feature.
  3. Currently 63 Mac games are supporting cross-platform play. On CrossPlayGames.com you get the full list of all Mac crossplay games available. Cross Play Games. Minecraft focuses on allowing the player to explore, interact with, and modify a dynamically-generated map made of one-c.
  4. You can also cross-play between a Mac and a non-Mac PC, or a console edition (including mobile editions), as long as the computers (including the Mac) are running Windows 10 and the Windows 10 Edition. 3.7K views Answer requested.

  2. Select the Search title.
  3. Type Minecraft.
  4. Select Minecraft from the available titles.
  5. Download Minecraft for Xbox One. This will be a free download for existing Minecraft: Xbox One Edition owners or priced at $43.

Cross-play on Nintendo Switch brings a few additional hurdles to overcome, due to limitations of the console. Without native Xbox Live integration, you'll need to sign into a Microsoft account.

  1. Open the Nintendo eShop.
  2. Navigate to the Search tab.
  3. Search for Minecraft.
  4. Select Minecraft from the available titles.
