Does Minecraft Dungeons support cross-platform?

Yes, Minecraft Dungeons supports cross-platform play. In simple words, you can play with your friends regardless of platform and a party can consist of PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch players.

You can enjoy crossplay on Minecraft Dungeons only if:

  • Your game is updated to version 1.8.8.0 or later.
  • Your Microsoft account is linked with your Nintendo Switch/PlayStation account.

Playing with more players is undoubtedly a fun idea, but it increases the difficulty of the quest. You can also opt to start the game alone as more players can join it in between.

  • Launch Minecraft Dungeons.
  • Open the Game Settings.
  • Search for Configure Online Play and enable the option.

It is worth noting that on PC and Xbox, the cross-platform play settings are enabled by default.
