Minecraft now spans millions of devices, unified via cross-platform multiplayer attributed to its shared 'Bedrock' engine. The unification breaks long-established barriers between platforms, including home console rivals, the Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Here's how to get started with cross-play for Minecraft today.

• Living room adventures: Minecraft Master Collection - Xbox One ($43 at Amazon)
• On-the-go wonder: Minecraft - Nintendo Switch ($29 at Amazon)

Setting up Minecraft cross-play for Xbox One

Preparing cross-play on Xbox One is straightforward, thanks to relaxed content restrictions compared to other platforms. And with direct Xbox Live integration on the console, you'll be ready to go after installing the game. Xbox One users should ensure 'Minecraft' is used, rather than the incompatible 'Minecraft: Xbox One Edition.'

1. Open the Microsoft Store on Xbox One.
2. Select the Search title.
3. Type Minecraft.
4. Select Minecraft from the available titles.
5. Download Minecraft for Xbox One. This will be a free download for existing Minecraft: Xbox One Edition owners or priced at $43.
6. Open Minecraft.

After completing the above steps, your Xbox One is primed for Minecraft cross-play with other systems.

Setting up Minecraft cross-play for Nintendo Switch

Cross-play on Nintendo Switch brings a few additional hurdles to overcome, due to limitations of the console. Without native Xbox Live integration, you'll need to sign into a Microsoft account. Furthermore, the lack of an integrated browser means you'll need help from a mobile or PC. Like the Xbox version, Nintendo Switch users should ensure 'Minecraft' is installed, rather than the incompatible 'Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.'

1. Open the Nintendo eShop.
2. Navigate to the Search tab.
3. Search for Minecraft.
4. Select Minecraft from the available titles.

5. Download Minecraft for Nintendo Switch. This will be a free download for existing Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition owners or priced at $29.

How to create Minecraft cross-play games

The process of creating cross-play sessions is the same as any other Minecraft multiplayer game – set up your world, and you're ready to go. For those with an existing Minecraft Realm from other platforms, these steps can be ignored.

2. Choose Create New under the Worlds tab.
3. Select Create New World to start a fresh game.
