You might be wonder whether or not Minecraft Realms are cross-platform. They definitely are, they support players joining each other from Bedrock enabled versions. That means you can play with your friends regardless of the platform they’re enjoying the game on.

This is any release that currently has that version including Xbox Series X/S; Xbox One, Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10 PC, Android, IOS or Virtual Reality platforms. All of these players can join each other’s Realms easily from invites within the game.

The invite will appear as an envelope on your device, accept the invitation and then you can enter that world at any point. There are no time restrictions, and the host doesn’t have to be present to jump in if you’re included on their list. There are no special features that need to be enabled to do this, it’s easy to access and just play with.

For context, Realms are online worlds that can always be accessed. There are a couple tiers such as for two players or for ten players, and the host decides the rules. The host can also access these editing properties from any platform they join their Realm on. It’s expansive in terms of settings and easy to understand. These systems will also continue to evolve over time offering more content, and in general exciting new ways to play the game.

I hope this helped explain the aspects of Minecraft Realm cross-play options and the features surrounding the support for it. Additional details can be found below within the general hub for this growing franchise. You can also read a special guide about the title as well. If that’s not enough, a video is below that goes over what the special online servers provide to those looking at getting one for themselves or their friends.
