Microsoft on Minecraft and PlayStation 4: ‘We’d love to have’ PS4 join cross-play support

Microsoft has spent the last couple of years talking about bringing Minecraft fans together no matter how they’re playing, and now the publisher is finally getting ready to put that plan into action … but without the PlayStation 4.

Minecraft’s Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10, and mobile versions are all coming together into one game called simply Minecraft (no more Minecraft: Xbox One Edition or whatever). This enables you to start a game on one platform and then pick up that world and save on any of the others that are part of this unification under the “Bedrock Engine.” This also means someone on Switch can play with someone on an iPhone or Xbox One, and your purchases in the game even carry over from one device to the other.
