My girlfriend and I want to play Minecraft together. I have a switch and she has an Xbox One.
I've already read that it would be possible, but I couldn't find a way to do it anywhere. 😅
A Microsoft account must be created on the switch. It's easy in the game. Then you add each other as friends and start a world together.

here is a complete guide.
Thank you, just how do you add yourself as friends? 🤔😅
You just need to connect both consoles to the Wi-Fi network. It doesn't matter whether the Wi-Fi network has internet, because Crossplay works in Minecraft without internet. You only need a Wi-Fi router or a smartphone with a Wi-Fi hotspot function.
As soon as you have connected your devices to the same Wi-Fi network, you can start playing together. The prerequisite is, of course, that Minecraft is up to date on its respective devices, and that the world you want to play is activated in the multiplayer settings, the "LAN multiplayer" function. This Local Multiplayer method works with Android, IOS, Xbox, Windows 10, Samsung VR and Nintendo Switch. PS4 with Wi-Fi probably not, since I wanted to play with a buddy last time, didn't want his PS4 in my Wi-Fi network just because my Internet was off. Only my Xbox could get in. The principle with local multiplayer via LAN cable also works with Xbox One, Windows 10, Nintendo Switch (you need the docking station) and possibly the PS4.
