Cross platform vs licensing

Display Name Taken_214 · Sep 10, 2020

Hey guys, quick stupid question about the cross platform availability for minecraft. Over the years, I previously bought minecraft for PSN, Xbox, iphone, and pc. Yes it is that great of a game! However this past year i purchased a Google phone running Android
apps, does this mean i will have to buy it again to download it on the new andriod or is there another way to get the licensing without having to purchase it a fifth time?

Thanks!

Unfortunately you would have to buy it again since it's a different platform.

Hi,

As Smwutches has explained above, unfortunately you’d have to purchase it again separately, as it’s a different platform.

Transferring licenses is not possible. This is confirmed here:

Maybe it will be 360 vs One gamers....

But true,it might be a big issue (and disapointment) for people who wants to play with their friends (cross platform)

Because it doesn't matter if the content is identical on the PC vs Xbox version of the game, there were 2 different licenses issued for the different platforms.

No.

Battlefield 4 does not support cross-platform play between Xbox 360 and Xbox One players. You'll find that many, if not all multiplayer games, follow suit to this trend.

The main reasoning behind no cross-platform play is due to hardware differences being used as an advantage against players with weaker hardware. (better FPS and draw distance on Xbox One vs Xbox 360 with toned-down graphics)
