My friend plays minecraft on his xbox and I on my PC… Can we play together since Windows 10 edition and the Xbox edition are the same anyway
Yes, all bedrock editions (including PC Store edition, PS4, XBox, Mobile, Switch and more) are compatible, you only need a Microsoft / XBox account
Do we need realms for that?
If you have a server that both of you want to enter individually, yes, if you don't always play at the same time, simply send an invitation to the party in the game in the menu
Can we also play together on servers?
On Bedrock this is only possible via realms
Kk thank you
I can remember so far that you can. I can recommend you to use Aternos for a free server. But you always have to start it up if no one has been on it for 5 minutes.
That is only possible via Java
If you are Xbos-Live friends, you can play together in one world if the world owner is online in the world. When it leaves the world, the host is closed, i.e. Nobody can join anymore.
If you want to play together, but not only when the other is online, you have to rent a realm.
On the other hand, you can also join public servers such as Cubecraft or Hive. There are many mini-games there and you can play with others. You can also invite yourself to a party (/ party invite [name]), then the other person will always be ported to the mini-games
About yes. Please note that there are several Minecraft games for the Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch 2.
There's the Bedrock Edition and the Legacy Edition for Pro console.
Only the Bedrock Edition is cross-play, the Legacy Edition is NOT.
The difference is easy to see: the Bedrock Edition only has the name "Minecraft".
In the case of legacy there's for example. "Xbox One / PS4 / Switch Edition".
The Bedrock even has the same thumbnail on the Xbox One, PS4, and Switch all of them. The Windows 10 and Android / IOS thumbnails are a block of grass in two-dimensional view.
The following systems are compatible with the Bedrock Edition "Crossplay":
Xbox One, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android, Apple IOS, Amazon Fire (Android), and Windows 10.
The following Minecraft games are not compatible with Bedrock: Java Edition, Legacy Edition, PI Edition.
And Bedrock, I'll do it myself lol
