  1. Cross Platform Friends option is not showing in Minecraft for PS4 and it's saying unable to...


    Hii, I play minecraft on a PS4 and I'm logged in with my microsoft account. About two weeks ago it stopped letting me join my friends world. It's saying "unable to connect to realms" where it usually says "try realms plus free for 30 days" and "you have not become a member of any realms yet". My boyfriend, who plays Xbox, will be online playing in the world waiting for me to join and when I press play it says "your friends are not playing minecraft right now" when they are. I've tried so many different things : resetting my internet, logging out then back into my microsoft account on minecraft, restarting my PS4. Usually my character will be like a loading thing and when I don't wait for it to load and press play, it says all the normal stuff about realms and that my friends who are currently playing are playing, when i try to join their world my game crashes. But when I do wait for my little character to load, it says none of my friends are playing, which they are, and that I'm unable to connect to realms.. I don't really know what to do anymore.. my wifi is working fine, my game has never done this before. Does anyone know how to fix this??

    :)

    Microsoft Account linked to PS4 account on Minecraft

    I have linked my Microsoft account to my PS4 account in order to play cross platform minecraft. The issue is that I would like to play cross platform with my brother, who is playing using my Xbox One. My microsoft account is now associated with
    both my PS4 account and Xbox Live account, which means that we share a gamertag. For this reason I cannot add my Xbox account as a friend on Minecraft and cannot play cross platform. I attempted to resolve this issue by unlinking my Microsoft account from
    my PS4 account but this did not resolve the issue. I was unable to link a different Microsoft account to my PS4 account, a message informed me that my account was already linked to another and could not be linked again.
    Please can you make it free Minecraft Minecraft store PS4

    Cross Platform Friends option not showing in Minecraft for Xbox

    Hi there!

    I usually have the same issues here. What I do is when I'm with friends on PC and I myself am on Xbox I will invite them to a party and then through the party I invite them to the game. Then they can join. The only time it didnt work I hard resented the
    xbox (press and hold the xbox icon on the xbox for 10s until the power brick turns orange) and it worked after it started back up.

    Cross Platform Friends option not showing in Minecraft for Xbox

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply! I've had a look at invites but it only shows up my Xbox friends in it, and doesn't have the option to invite new friends. I tried holding down the Xbox button too and it turned off after 5 seconds. I'm not having any luck with it..

    John
