Minecraft cross-play enabled on PS4: play with Xbox, PC, Switch, more

Minecraft players on the PlayStation 4 can rejoice, with Mojang adding in cross-play support with other platforms in Minecraft's new Bedrock Edition update that drops on December 10.

The new cross-play feature coming in the new update will let PS4 gamers play Minecraft with gamers on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC through Windows 10, iOS, Android, and even the Gear VR. It also allows PS4 gamers get access to their personal purchases and progress from Minecraft on other platforms, too.

Minecraft studio boss Helen Chiang told The Verge: "One of Minecraft's core missions is to connect players across devices and provide the best experience regardless of platform. We continue to fulfill that mission here today by welcoming PS4 players to Minecraft on Bedrock and growing our cross-platform multiplayer community".
