Minecraft Bedrock Edition Stuck on Locating Server when joining cross play, on any platform.

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,

This probably is not with you. This is probably with the people trying to join the Realm. Are the others on Xbox? If so, they should be following the steps to enable Cross-Platform gameplay for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Thank you!

I am having the same problems. But the other way arround. I can join my friends in their world. But no one can join mine. It is the shitiest thing that can happen. Can't show my friends anything. FIX THIS MOJANG!!!! Other wise I'd like a refund. I only
bought it to play with friends and show them my creations. All for nothing.

My friends can join eachother but when i try to join it just get stuck on locating server and never does anything im struggling and ive reinstalled my game and my console, btw im on a ps4 and they are too and i connected my xbox account. The only
reason i was on my bros ps4 was to be able to talk to them while playing minecraft anyway its not working.

I have had the same problem, I get stuck on the locating server screen whenever I try to enter my friends world. Me and they all play on ps4 and we don't know the cause of the problem.
