Minecraft Dungeons II officially supports cross-platform (Image via Mojang) Minecraft Dungeons II launched on September 29, 2026, and the new dungeon crawler has received a solid reception from the community. For anyone planning to squad up with friends across different consoles, the good news arrived early: crossplay is fully supported.If you are looking for further details, you are at the right place. Here’s a breakdown of how multiplayer works, what crossplay actually covers, and what to know before jumping into a session.
Is Minecraft Dungeons 2 crossplay?
Yes. Minecraft Dungeons II supports cross-platform play across every system it launched on: PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, for parties of up to four players. This builds on a feature the original Minecraft Dungeons already had, so Mojang carried the functionality forward into the sequel rather than building it from scratch.Official store listings and Xbox have both confirmed cross-platform multiplayer and cross-platform co-op, meaning a group spread across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC can all land in the same session without workarounds. Mojang hasn’t published a detailed platform-by-platform compatibility chart, so the exact mechanics of every possible pairing aren’t fully spelled out.
How co-op works in Minecraft Dungeons II
Minecraft Dungeons II supports up to four players at once, whether that’s entirely online, entirely local couch co-op, or a mix of both happening in the same session. That hybrid option, officially called Mixed Co-Op, is one of the sequel’s standout multiplayer additions, since the original game required players to choose one mode or the other rather than blending them.Joining a session works two ways: through matchmaking, which fills empty slots automatically, or by sharing an eight-character party code with friends so they can join a specific lobby directly, regardless of what platform they’re on.
Turning on Cross-platform in Minecraft Dungeons II
Cross-platform play is tied to account sign-in rather than being fully automatic. To enable it:Launch Minecraft Dungeons II and go to the main menu.Open Settings and look for the Game options section.Find Cross-Platform Play and toggle it on.Once enabled, the setting stays active going forward unless manually turned off from the same menu.
Crossplay vs. Cross-Progression
It’s worth separating two related but different features. Crossplay lets players on different platforms share a session together. Cross-progression is about carrying a saved character from one platform to another. Mojang has confirmed that hero data is stored online rather than locally, so progress follows players who sign in with the same Microsoft account across devices.
Subscription requirements
Online console multiplayer isn’t entirely free of extra requirements. Xbox players need an active Game Pass tier that includes online multiplayer, while PlayStation players need an active PlayStation Plus subscription to play online. PC players don’t need anything beyond owning the game, and it’s also available through Game Pass on day one as an Xbox Play Anywhere title.To conclude it all, squads spread across different consoles can enjoy Minecraft Dungeons II together. Now you can easily jump into a friend’s game using party codes and have a blast playing the game. The big things to double check before you go are having an active online subscription on consoles and making sure cross platform play is toggled on in settings.
