Is Minecraft Dungeons cross-platform?

Yes, Minecraft Dungeons does have cross-platform support. This means if you own the game on PC while your friend owns it on a PS4 or Xbox, you can team up together!

Before you fire up your game and head on to join a lobby with your friends, you’ll first need to remember a few things:

  • Make sure your game is updated to version 1.8.8.0 or later.
  • Your Nintendo Switch / PlayStation Network accounts must be linked to a Microsoft account.

Updating version 1.8.8.0 allows you to create a multiplayer lobby with cross-platform support. You can create lobbies on previous versions too, but this feature won’t be supported.

How to enable Minecraft Dungeons cross-platform on PS4?

In order to enable crossplay on PlayStation in Minecraft Dungeons, you’ll need to follow a handful of short steps:

  1. Launch the game.
  2. Head to the Game Settings menu.
  3. From there, select ‘Configure Online Play’ and enable the option.

That’s it! You don’t need to follow any additional steps on PC or Xbox if your game is updated as this option will be enabled by default.

So, there you have it — that’s everything you need to know about Minecraft Dungeons’ cross-platform support.
