Minecraft cross platform guide | PC, Console and Mobile 1.17+

What’s up YouTube it’s your white looking Native American friend Tyrone so for today’s video we have an update to our minecraft cross platform guide and I’ll be telling you everything you need to know in order to cross play minecraft with PC console and mobile so if this

Video does help you please make sure to leave a like so now that ps4 is jumped on board and added cross play there is now cross play between PC Xbox ps4 Nintendo switch iOS and Android so if you’re playing minecraft on console or mobile you must be using a bedrock

Edition of Minecraft so for example minecraft on Xbox has a Xbox one edition so if you use that version you will not be able to cross play now on the other hand if you’re on PC you have to be using the Windows 10 version in order to

Cross play not the Java edition but if you purchase minecraft job edition before October 19th 2018 you have a free redeemable code for Minecraft Windows 10 and we can thank a DRP for letting us know this so if you want to see a step-by-step guide on how to get that

Code and redeem it check out my previous cross-platform guide where I walk you through how to do that step-by-step the link will be down in the description so since that was already covered in the previous version we’ll just keep moving forward so this next part is really important no matter what platform you’re

Playing on except the Xbox if you’re on Windows 10 PlayStation the Nintendo switch or mobile you have to create a free Xbox account it is required and this is likely because Microsoft purchased minecraft so they want you to create an account with them so the good

Thing is you don’t have to have Xbox Live unless you are actually on the Xbox so you can just create a free Xbox account so to do this all you got to do is click the link in the description or go to Xbox comm and you’ll see it says

Create an account so once you do this this will basically create a Microsoft or Xbox account and it should create an Xbox Live account with a gamertag that is associated with it so once you’ve done that the next step is to link this Xbox / Microsoft account to the account

That you’re going to be playing minecraft with this is required so even if you are on the PlayStation or the switch or mobile you have to link this Excel box account that you just created or that you already had and make sure that it is linked to your account that you

Will be playing on so if you’re on Windows 10 on the PC you just want to make sure that the Microsoft account that you use to download minecraft Windows 10 has an Xbox Live profile associated with it as well so if you’re unsure how to link your Xbox account to

Your main profile just do a simple google search like how to link my ps4 and Xbox account to play minecraft cross-platform someone somewhere will have created a step-by-step guide on how to do this and I’ll even search up some and leave some down below in the description as links that you guys can

Click on so once you have the correct version of Minecraft Windows 10 Edition if you’re on PC or any bedrock Edition and you’ve linked a free Xbox account to the platform you’re playing on like I said ps4 switch cetera you have to link the last step is to make sure that the

Person you’re trying to join or the person you’re trying to get to join you has done the exact same thing so feel free to send them this link to this video so once that person that you are joining or you’re having join you catches up to you in this process you

Both need to add each other as friends on Xbox so you can do this a few ways you can go to Xbox comm where you created your account and you want to go to your Xbox Live account and you’ll see that they have a friends tab there where

You can search for your friend and add them now there’s also a mobile app that you can download on your phone and there’s a PC app that you can download and you can do the same thing on there as well so it’s whatever you prefer so now that you’ve completed all of these

Steps above and you’ve added each other’s friends on Xbox there’s one last important step left so as I found out from the last version of this Minecraft cross-platform guide the last issue that can arise is if you and the person you’re playing with are on different versions of Minecraft so if you have

Different updates so make sure both of you will have updated your minecraft to the latest version and make sure the map that you guys are playing on or trying to join is also on the current version of Minecraft so if you created the world back on an older update issues could

Come up so if you followed all of these steps now when you load up minecraft and you go to your friends tab you should see the world you’re trying to join or your friends should be able to see your world if they are trying to

Join you so that’s it you should be able to cross play now with your friends and again if this video helped you out please leave a like it takes one click or one touch and it really helps out the channel also if you’re new here be sure
