Can i buy minecraft on my laptop, and then be able to play that on my ps4 as well by just...

Hello Yaseen, this is Manuela!. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

I would like to let you know that's not possible. You need to purchase Minecraft on every platform you decide to play because the Microsoft store doesn't have communication with the PSN store, this rule applies to basically all the games.

The closest thing to playing Minecraft without paying for each edition is when you are a game pass ultimate subscriber. But this allows you to play only on Xbox and PC. No other console systems

Hi, thanks for the response that helps a lot. This is the link I plan to buy Minecraft from, Buy Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC | Xbox . If I buy this I can still play with friends on ps4 right? From what I've read it says so but I just wanted to check before buying it. Or is this not the correct edition if I want to play with friends on different platforms?

Hi ID, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

No, if you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4 and link your Microsoft account with your PS4 account, it will not sync the purchase with the accounts. Minecraft Bedrock purchases are tied to the platform on which they are made. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PC, you will only be able to play it on PC. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, you will only be able to play it on PS4.

However, there is an exception to this rule. If you buy Minecraft Java Edition on PC, you will also be able to play Minecraft Bedrock on your mobile device. This is because Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock are compatible with the "Minecraft Live" feature.

If you just want to play the Minecraft you paid for on your PC, you don't need to buy Minecraft Bedrock for PS4. You can download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition from the Minecraft website.

Here are some steps to download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition:

Visit the Minecraft website.
Click on the "Download Minecraft" button.
Select "Minecraft: Java Edition".
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the download.
Once you have downloaded Minecraft: Java Edition, you will be able to play it on your PC.

I hope my answer was helpful and clarified your doubts. do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other problem. have a nice day.

I was just about to buy one but I can save my money now!!!!!! I WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY USING MY LAPTOP SCREEN WITH WINDOWS 10!!!!!!!1 =)

I am so excited!

I figured it is a security issue as microsoft is not allowing me to sign in through the ps4 but does through my phone or laptop. Ive chatted with a few people through microsoft support. One helped me for an evening but after powering down and back up the
problem reappeared. I played with them for several hours just fine so i assume she was able to do something but i had to delete all my game save data. Many hours of crafting and mining. I do own minecraft on my ps4. I have played it for about 6 years. Its
funny some support chat members immediately say you should contact mojang or sony. Well if you go to get support from mojang for minecraft on ps4 issues it tries to give you troubleshooting instructions for xbox and if you try to chat with someone it sends
you to get help from an xbox gamer. Same if you try to get playstation support for minecraft from the playstation support. Sony says microsoft owns minecraft so i need to ask them. I aint blaming anyone just wanna play.
