Minecraft PlayStation 4 – Better Together Update Crossplay What Is Happening?

Welcome back everyone my name is echoed today in this video let’s take the time to talk about Minecraft PlayStation 4 the cross-play version the better together update where is it what’s happening what is going to be the final outcome now I’m going to be totally honest with you in today’s video

Including my own opinions but also including some articles about the cross play situation I’ll be totally honest with you guys I have stayed away from this news article this information for such a long time not because I don’t like Minecraft PlayStation 4 I stayed away in the hopes

That Sony would give in and give the players what they wanted so it’s been a very long time since we heard any information at all about the cross play the better together update a Minecraft PlayStation 4 and from the bottom of my heart I am absolutely devastated for the

PlayStation community there is nothing worse than kind of being ignored and not being told what’s going on let’s go back let’s say a year year and a half two years ago how strong the Minecraft console community was this is Xbox 360 Xbox one ps3 ps4 PS Vita and Wii U the

Community was so close we were constantly updated we knew what was going on we knew when updates were being released now the concert community knows nothing at all now I want to know from you guys who play on xbox 360 who play on ps3 ps4 PS Vita or Wii U do you still

Play the console version every single day or have you taken the time to move to a different version a different version such as Xbox one better together update such as Windows 10 such as pop Kadesh on your phone or even minecraft PC so let me know in the comments

Section have you switched version so let me briefly explain to the people who might not know what is going on what happened with the whole better together situation so Microsoft announced during e3 2017 cross-play would be a thing for the majority versions of Minecraft this being minecraft Xbox one this being switch edition

Eventually that still being worked on iOS Android and of course Windows 10 they can all play together so I could be sitting there on my xbox one my friend could be sitting there on iPads and we can play the same server at the same world without any problems at all

Sony when this was announced said this isn’t happening for us now I believe the main reason two reasons as to why Sony have declined this is for one they didn’t want Xbox Live profiles running on the Sony consoles they kind of class the house diminishing their platform meanwhile Nintendo and switch were all

For it they kind of see it as well if more people have access to the game it’s gonna make them more money it’s gonna keep the players happy now remember the PlayStation 4 motto is for the players okay this is just so nice ego being too high now the other reason they’re saying

Is because they don’t have control over what the players are doing because it’s all down to Microsoft it kind of might go against their Terms of Use in terms of protection which I fully understand but Microsoft have said to Sony multiple times we will make this basically how you like it

They’ve said to Sony we can do exactly what you would like to do in terms of protecting the children protecting the players so fast-forward roughly nine months we’re at the point where I’m making this video today trying to explain to you guys what is going on I

Have taken the time to strip the internet dry to try and find articles on this situation we have no information from Sony from PlayStation from Microsoft or from minecraft there is nothing there at all until the other day when I come across an article from fortnight we’ll get into that in just a

Second throughout this moment this has to be the first time ever for minecraft consolation I have absolutely no idea what is going on with the game we have had no updates from 4j from minecraft I don’t even know what 4j are doing anymore or 4j still developing the console versions

It’s the console version still gonna be updated I heard a rumor the other day that 4j are now moving over to the bedrock version I already don’t know how true that is we do know that 4j have developed mashup acts and see impact on the bedrock version is

4jr working on who knows now once I was told the Minecraft PlayStation 4 cross play would not be a thing I made a petition you can see it right here I asked for 10,000 signatures we have 11,000 457 on this screenshot I can see on my other screen it’s now going up to

11,000 500 plus people are still actively signing this now as soon as we pass 10,000 signatures iMessage Sony iMessage playstation I reached out to them on social media and I got no response at all I’m still gonna keep trying I don’t even play Minecraft PlayStation 4 I’m an Xbox person but

Because this is a community thing because minecraft should be the same for all people I want this to happen for the PlayStation community because it’s so hard seeing a game that you love and not being told what is going on while the other versions of Minecraft around you

Are building off and becoming better that is absolutely devastating I’ll leave the petition down below in case you guys want to sign it basically I made this in the hopes of Sony Microsoft and PlayStation explaining to the players why this isn’t happening explaining why this hasn’t happened what

Can be done to fix this and what it what can be done to make the players have the same experience that’s the reason why once we find out why they aren’t doing this it means that they can work together to make this possible according to the Microsoft and minecraft team they

Have the better together version working on PlayStation it works flawlessly the same way as Xbox but they can’t release it because Sony won’t allow it anyway moving on from that the only other information that we did get about the best together on PlayStation was this person on the minecraft.net website

Saying will the new version be available on playstation for a Nintendo switch while we are thrilled to be able to confirm the new version of Minecraft is coming to Nintendo switch we are still in discussions with certainty about PlayStation and have nothing to confirm we would love to work with Sony to bring

Players on PlayStation 4 into the ecosystem as well ever since that was posted on there the frequently asked questions the QA we’ve had nothing since believe me I’ve looked I’ve checked it out now going back to probably a couple of years ago there was cross play for rocket League but it’s always been

PlayStation 4 and PC and Xbox and PC they’ve never crossed paths Xbox and PlayStation have never crossed paths now the thing about rocket League is to play against PlayStation 4 users for one you do not need to sign in to Xbox Live on a Playstation you do not need to sign in

To Sony’s verification on Xbox they can just play together recently I come across across an article about fortnight we know fortnight is currently the biggest game going on the sales are through the roof the player base is absolutely insane everybody is enjoying fortnight now I was reading a little bit

Of articles about the mobile version which I’m really interested in because there’s going to be cross play for fortnight as well now there was a mistake made by fortnight I believe a little while ago where the Xbox players and the PlayStation 4 players play it against each other it kind of happened

By mistake it doesn’t happen anymore now this was posted I believe on it could have been Kotaku or something like that but it says fortnight has been available on Xbox one and ps4 for some time now but mobile versions are for tonight we’re announced on March 10th according

To epic fortnight Mobile is that one the same 100 player game you know an Xbox one PlayStation for PC and Mac with the same gameplay same apps same content same weekly updates the announcement follows previous confirmation that thanks to partnership with Sony fortnight will support cross play and

Cross progression between ps4 PC Mac iOS and eventually Android sign up for fortnight blah blah blah on their website so Sony are doing the cross platform I believe this could be the first time they’ve linked to mobile devices but sonja doing the cross platform with PC Mac iOS and eventually

Android did you notice that Xbox again was not confirmed we do not know why Sony do not want to go up against Xbox we do not know the actual reason they’ve said for minecraft it’s due to the dough on Xbox Live right profiles they don’t want to not have control what it with

Fortnight they would have the same control like they do with the other such as PC Mac iOS and eventually Android now the same optical also posted this saying although the Xbox one and ps4 versions of fought and I can’t currently connect we don’t know if it

Isn’t if it is possible in fact it happened for a weekend but the functionality was turned off and chalked up to an error so basically that’s saying that PlayStation 4 and Xbox players did play against each other but it was by mistake so for the people asking is this possible yes the

Cross-platform is definitely possible but this kinda confirms to me that Sony’s reason about the cross play is completely wrong just for Minecraft they just do not want to go up against Xbox Playstation just does not want to have any form of cross-platform play with the Xbox players I’ll be totally honest with

You I don’t think cross-platform for Minecraft the better together update will ever be a thing on PlayStation because Sony just don’t want this to happen and it’s absolutely devastating because they have cross platforms with other versions and are you guys are gonna sit there and say well is this for

Chase fault is this Microsoft’s fault is this minecraft fault no this is solely down to PlayStation and Sony saying no Sony just do not want to do any form of cross-platform with Xbox which is why this is a thing we’re getting closer and closer and closer to e3 there’s more

Than likely gonna be more announcements for Minecraft because for the past couple of years that Microsoft have owned minecraft they’ve always done some form of announcement during e3 I know this video wasn’t a lot I know I didn’t pack it with lots of information and that’s prin simply because we don’t have

Lots of information but I know as a player it sucks when you don’t know what’s going on it absolutely sucks especially if you’re a dedicated PlayStation 4 players and I know there’s a lot of you out there who are watching minecraft Xbox minecraft switch effects together update grow get bigger get

Stronger marketplace content realms service and you’re just stuck there with survival creative and a couple of minigames I mean it’s it really does make me feel really really sorry for the PlayStation community so we go back to that question have you guys who play playstation for switched versions do you still play on

Playstation for every day are you bothered about this are you not bothered about this I want to know your comments down below but that’s the qu the only update we have cross platform with fortnight is happening for xbox pc etc it’s also happening with ps4 well when it gets to

Cross platform between ps4 and Xbox there’s a line right through the middle of them saying no it’s just not happening so if you guys know any more information about this please leave a comment down below there’s also a lot of discussion in the Minecraft discord a lot of people asking developers like

Helen Angel community manager and there are any responses we would love to make this happen but at this moment we have nothing else to say and I’m guessing that just because they’re contracted to say that at this current point but I’m not contracted to say anything so I’m

Welcome to say whatever I want which is why I’m making this video guys that’s it for today I apologize anything else that we do find about this I will let you know any other videos on YouTube telling you that this is gonna happen that’s gonna happen I’ve seen some dude called

Stealth make several videos about the better together up there and PlayStation yeah it’s never happened that’s because it’s not gonna happen as of me making this video it’s not gonna happen guys so go in sign a petition if it gets to 15,000 signatures I’ll force someone to look at it and

Give us some kind of answer well I hope so a droid will have a great day and I’ll catch you next time
