PlayStation 4 is the last platform to join the cross game in Minecraft, which already includes Switch, Windows, Xbox One, iOS, Android and Gear VR.
As of this Tuesday, December 10, the PlayStation 4 version of Minecraft will allow the game to be crossed with the rest of the consoles and devices in which the game is located. This means that players from all major gaming platforms (Nintendo Switch, Windows, Xbox One, iOS and Android, as well as Gear VR devices) can now play together in the same online world. Minecraft is still the most watched on YouTube despite being already 10 years old, so this is just one of the many measures that Mojang is taking in order to keep the game alive and updated.
What's new in Minecraft
The crossplay, or cross game, is a feature that many players have long requested in various titles with online multiplayer games (which are present on several consoles and devices). However, everything seemed to work very slowly in terms of crossplay implementation until at the end of 2018 Epic Games announced that Fortnite would have cross-play. Since then, more and more titles have accumulated, including Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Now Minecraft joins all of them.
"PS4 players will now have their purchases and progress on all platforms," says Kelsey Howard of Mojang in a press release. “That means the worlds, skins, mini-games and massive packages available on the Minecraft Marketplace will be available on all platforms.
As for general Minecraft data, we remember that three months ago it was announced that the game reached 112 million active users per month, a huge number of players and players and that it only increases. In addition, as we advanced before, it remains one of the most watched games on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch.
