Is Minecraft Dungeons cross platform?
Minecraft Dungeons has cross-platform support enabled. That means you can team up with friends playing on a PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch. Mojang Studios also enabled a cloud save feature so players can pick up the game and your progress on another platform.
How to enable Minecraft Dungeons crossplay
Players should make sure their game is updated to version 1.8.8.0 or later. You should also make sure your Nintendo Switch / PlayStation Network accounts are linked to your Microsoft account. Note that you also need a valid Nintendo Switch Online membership to play online on Nintendo Switch, or a PlayStation Plus membership for PlayStation consoles.
Updating version 1.8.8.0 allows you to create a multiplayer lobby with cross-platform support. While you can create lobbies on previous versions too, this feature isn’t supported.
