Sony's Pride tho!!!!!
Just do it greedy mofos at sony!
Minecraft is huge so just freaking do it.

A friend and I were playing Minecraft in the same room today, he on his Xbox One and me on my Switch. We used the same seed, so we'd be in the "same world" even if seperately, but we really wished we could play together.
Five hours later? This gets announced. Win!
Because they have been the roadblock on Rocket League. Sony doesn't want cross platform with Xbox. That much is clear.Who's to say Sony declined, Microsoft may just not have offered.
Sony has allowed cross platform play the longest. Seeing as Minecraft isn't PC/PS4 at least shows you it's a Microsoft thing.

Is it confirmed that PS4 isn't included? I figured that they didn't show it just because they wouldn't want to show or mention PS4 in their conference.

How the hell did Nintendo beat Sony to the punch on this? Not interested in Minecraft but good on them for pulling it off.
I just updated the OP with official Mojang PR and some good news you might enjoy!I'm still waiting on private cloud servers for xbox one. (realms I guess?) Its been a year and still nothing. My kids have to leave a controller afk with my profile to play in our world. So unnecessary...
Independent servers, run by members of the amazing Minecraft community, have been around since the earliest days of the game. They're essentially online platforms where you can socialise, play and collaborate with millions of other players! Basically, servers make it easier for you to enjoy multiplayer Minecraft and access new mini-games, worlds, and friends to craft with! Nice!
Unlike Minecraft Realms, which gives you access to a private, cloud-hosted world for you and your friends, servers are open and accessible to everyone - some have monthly users in the millions!
So this Summer, all platforms receiving the Better Together Update will then have a server browser in the Minecraft start menu. This'll let you search a list of servers which you can join right away! We'll be launching with four servers – Lifeboat, Mineplex, InPVP, and Cubecraft - with more to follow. Plus we've made sure that parental controls and other safety features will be in place, so you decide what your child can access. We'll have a more detailed summary of servers closer to the update. After all, we live to serve(er)! ...sorry.
I suppose PS4 isn't a "better together" platform?In case you all missed it:
Dedicated servers are coming to ALL "Better Together" platforms!
It's simply surreal... I still can't believe itMultiplayer between Switch and Xbox is HUGE. I love Minecraft Switch, but my biggest problem is how closed off it feels. This changes things.
it's also good publicity on sony's part (if they did it) smh @ sony for not playing niceWhy would they mention the top dog? Or rather why would Sony want to play with them? Inb4 because is good for gamers. Business is a different beast.

I think it's great how I can build my world on Switch, and then access it on XB1 with better draw distances.
Does this mean that we'll be able to play 5x5 on Switch or unlimited PC maps on consoles?
Wasn't that Nintendo's slogan for their E3 2012? Five years later it's a reality, lol.
I think it's possible. One of the limitations of unlimited worlds on console was save size, which isn't a problem if the world is hosted/saved elsewhere.I think it's great how I can build my world on Switch, and then access it on XB1 with better draw distances.

Why Sony does it is obvious but it's shitty and they should be called out for it. Rocket League should have been that game a long time ago.Sony is the leader this gen so they don't gain much from cross play.
Your friends have Minecraft on ps4? Guess you need it on ps4 as well.
Remember, Microsoft gains from Minecraft regardless of platform. Sony only gains from minecraft on ps4 and marginally so.

Xbox One, Switch, and PC will all essentially have the same version of the game.

Halo pack for Switch or boycott
I wonder what they're going to do about that. I guess if the Halo pack can be on the NS, then the Mario pack can be on the Xbox One. Gonna be strange to see that happen.
When it comes to platform specific content, such as the Switch and Wii U Super Mario Mash-Up Pack, a representative for the Minecraft team said ”We are still working out [if platform-specific content will be available to a player on all platforms] and hope to have more details on that as we get closer to launch."

I wonder on a technical level, are they literally just swapping the One and Switch versions to the Win10/Mobile codebase? So sort of a soft re-release of the game?

Ms wants Nintendo to be the secondary console lol def a strategic move for them over sony

but that's not cool. sony should allow itSony is open to cross play, just not with xbox live.
This is the same reason why ps4 vs xbox isn't a thing for rocket league.
In the words of GAF: "maybe this is Microsoft's fault"In the words of AngryJoe: Sony "You dun fucked it up"
Ball, meet Sony's court.
