Does Minecraft Legends have crossplay?

Minecraft Legends does have crossplay, which means players will be able to play together independently of what device they play from.

Crossplay is a feature that allows players to play together across different platforms, whether it’s on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or other gaming systems. Someone playing from an Xbox can have an online co-op session with a friend playing from a Nintendo Switch, for example.

In Minecraft Legends‘ case, the game is available on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and on PC through Steam and Minecraft’s official website. So players from these platforms can play together in-game.
