Minecraft: Bedrock Edition
Cross-Play Verification
This page is our investigation of cross-play game Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. We always verify information manually using official sources - no AI.
Variation no. 1:
Before we begin, we need to clarify that we are referring only to Minecraft Bedrock Edition, not the original Minecraft, which was written in Java. The Java version of Minecraft does not exist on consoles and therefore does not support cross-play.
While investigating, we had confusion because of different Minecraft game pages in the Xbox Store, and this is the first thing we want to clarify:
- Minecraft for Windows - the version of Minecraft with cross-play support, but available only through Xbox Game Pass;
- Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC - contains 2 versions of Minecraft: the original Java, which does not support cross-play, and the new Bedrock that supports cross-play;
- Minecraft - the console-only version;
Currently, Minecraft Bedrock supports cross-play between all available platforms: Xbox, PlayStation, PC via Xbox Store, Nintendo Switch, Android, and IOS. This information can be found on the official Minecraft page here.
