Mojang has announced a new update coming to Minecraft this summer, that will unify the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One with mobile and Windows 10 PC versions of the game.
The
Better Together update will bring these two platforms into the Bedrock
Engine family for the game, an engine designed for cross-platform play.
Players across Switch, Xbox One, Windows, and mobile devices can play
together. That means cross-console play will be available for players
between Microsoft and Nintendo consoles. Saved data, purchased content,
and world progress will transfer over from the older versions of the
game to the new one.
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.”
The
Minecraft team is also looking into including the PlayStation 4 as part
of this shared, cross-platform ecosystem for Minecraft, but has nothing
to announce regarding concrete plans at this time.
