Dubbed family-friendly Diablo, Minecraft Dungeons is now available to buy on every platform it's available on meaning fans can now start their dungeon crawling experience. However, with cross platform multiplayer having become somewhat common over the past few years, lots of eager gamers want to know if Minecraft Dungeons also has crossplay between PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Although it's not the same as the series' main title, Minecraft Dungeons has still received moderately positive reviews with many agreeing that it has plenty of charm and addictive qualities, as well as compelling combat and good rewards.
There are two versions of Minecraft available for Xbox One: Minecraft: Xbox One Edition.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition is the version that is available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, mobile, and the Nintendo Switch. If you have Minecraft Java, you will not be able to utilize crossplay.
