What’s up everybody this is technoblast and tonight i have a special setup above me i have minecraft running on the xbox on the side of me i got minecraft running on the nintendo switch so in previous videos i would make cross-play videos between xbox and switch or any other platform However i would have to kind of take apart my setup and hook it up to the other platform so i can record footage from there and then instruct people what’s going on tonight it’s special because i got two captured cars going one on the xbox and one on the switch And now we can see both screens at the same time and for you you get to see the behavior when you cross play with two different platforms all right so the first thing i’m going to take care of is the xbox you got your xbox of course And then you got minecraft game whether it’s a digital game or a physical game and then you will need xbox live gold so it can play with other players it doesn’t matter if it’s xbox with other xbox players or with other platforms so right now for me as you can tell Above i got the xbox minecraft version ready to go i just haven’t started the world yet because now we’re gonna go take care of the switch side so on the switch what you need to be able to cross play with somebody who’s on a ps4 somebody who’s on ios somebody who’s Android it doesn’t matter to phone or tablet same thing with ios if it’s an iphone or an ipad it doesn’t matter to be able to cross play you’re going to need an xbox account which is free you can just sign up at xbox.com sign up for free make up your gamer tag And you’re good to go you do not need xbox live gold on the nintendo switch at all none what you will need is the nintendo online service to be able to play online it doesn’t matter if you’re playing with other switch players it doesn’t matter if you play with other other different platforms You will need the nintendo online service all right so still on the switch side once you have your xbox account you’re gonna have to log into that bottom left corner box that says sign in with your microsoft account all right so what we’re gonna do here i’m gonna click on that And i’m going to say save to microsoft account and you’re going to be greeted with this url in code the code is different for everybody so if you try to use it yourself it’s not going to work you’re going to have to get your own unique code And go to that url using your pc using your laptop your desktop i don’t care just use a pc or your phone and it’s going to ask you to log in log in with that xbox account to that url and then and uh then you’re gonna enter That code so i’m gonna do that right now so now i’m signed in on the bottom left corner you will see that the box that says sign in to your microsoft account has changed with my gamer tag that is the gamertag that i have on the xbox Ecosystem on the right side you see the steve avatar it still says technoblast that is because i mean my switch is set up with technoblast for all the games it is now connected to the xbox servers so now i’m able to cross play with other platforms and just a reminder You do not need xbox live gold you will need nintendo online service to be able to play online all right so now we’re going to go back to the top screen where i have xbox running and i’m going to go ahead and start a world and i have this test one that i Created earlier today and i’m just going to go ahead and go in it there’s nothing fancy about it it’s just a a brand new world that i created for the sake of this video and once that world is generated we’re going to go ahead and switch over to The switch and have the switch join that xbox world all right so the xbox version is already logged in it started the world so now on the switch version i’m just going to go ahead and click on play and i’m going to tab over to the middle Tab that says friends at the very bottom you’ll see that active world called technoblast we’re going to go ahead and select that one and it’s going to take a few a few moments for it to generate the world connect to the server and do what it needs to do to Get into the world so you notice that steve actually appeared in front of my xbox if you look at both screens you can see both of us there’s technoblast without any number that is the xbox version then you see technoblast with the number two next to it that is the switch version again Because my switch is set up with technoblast as the account it’s going to show as technoblast but if you even though i used a different account a different xbox account so there you go just proof to show you that a switch version and xbox version can uh cross play some questions i’ve have Come up in my previous videos do i have to be on the same wi-fi no you don’t have to be on the same wi-fi you can have a sister in california and you play here in texas you guys can play it you guys don’t have to be in the same household Okay that’s the whole beauty of cross playing the other person doesn’t need the same use the same platform all they need is an xbox account a free one so if you’re on playstation you’re going to need an xbox account to log in if you want to play with somebody on the switch If you’re on ios or android iphone ipad galaxy pad whatever you know galaxy phone you will need an xbox account so you can play with those other players on those different platforms now if you want to play with switch and other switch players then you don’t need an xbox account you could just You know use the party system that’s within the nintendo service same thing with xbox and the same thing with playstation but if x you have a buddy on xbox and you play on playstation what i just did here on the switch side you’re gonna have to do the same thing on the playstation Side i hope this is more clear than my previous videos at least you get to see both sides of the platforms on the same screen and if you have any questions about cross play put them down in the comments section i’ll try to get to you as soon as i can Uh don’t get mad or frustrated i don’t answer you right away hey i have a life too i have work i have family and i do get a lot of questions on my youtube channel so just be patient and hopefully i can get an answer for you alright guys this is technoblast And i’m out Video Information
