How to join cross platform friends on nintendo switch

Are one of you in the beta that may be the reason because you cant join as they are 2 differnt verirons.

Please ensure cross-platform play between Nintendo Switch and PS4 players, all players involved need to be using the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft and have Microsoft accounts. If your friends on PS4 are still using the PlayStation 4 Edition, they won't be able to join you, and you won't be able to join them. Unfortunately, there is no direct fix for this, as the cross-platform play limitations are determined by the game's edition and the platform.

As of September 2021, Sony had relaxed its stance on cross-platform play, so it's possible that Minecraft's Bedrock Edition might have become available for PS4 by now. If this is the case, make sure your friends on PS4 have updated to the Bedrock Edition, and they should be able to join your game using their Microsoft accounts.

Hi,

The process to create cross-play sessions is the same as any other Minecraft multiplayer game – set up your world and you're ready to go. For those with an existing

Minecraft Realm from other platforms, these steps can be ignored.

Select Play from the main menu.

Choose Create New under the Worlds tab.

Select Create New World to start a fresh game.

Navigate to the Multiplayer subsection.

Check multiplayer is enabled.

Select Create once you're ready to play

Using Minecraft's Friends tab is a quick way to see active games and join sessions. Navigating to this section will breakdown which online games are joinable across compatible platforms.

Select Play from the main menu.

Press RB to access to Friends tab on Xbox One. Press
R to access to Friends tab on Nintendo Switch.

Select an active game to join.

On Xbox One, games will be split between joinable friends and joinable Realms. On Nintendo Switch, games are sorted by Nintendo Switch friends, Xbox Live cross-platform friends, and joinable Realms.

Does it help ?

We highly recommend checking this link: Multiplayer and Cross-Platform Play – Home (minecraft.net). Also, according to this official article Minecraft for Nintendo Switch FAQ – Home, make sure you are typing your friend's Gamertags correctly as it clearly states:

"Q: I keep entering my friend’s ID into Cross-Platform friends and can’t find them. Why?

Make sure you are entering your friend’s Gamertag correctly. Please note that you are only able to enter in a player ID for Microsoft’s Gamertag. Other player IDs from other platforms are not supported at this time.".
