Hello Dynam1cbadger10,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are trying to cross-play Minecraft with your friends, and you were no longer able to. Let us check on this together so you will get back to gaming with your friends.

This Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition for PC has capability of cross-play with any of your friends, making sure they are on the same edition with you. If they are using different edition of Minecraft, then you will need to use that to ensure you and your friends will meet. Based on Minecraft's website, you may also purchase the base game from them because you can also play cross-platform with other devices running Minecraft.

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.

I know the article I've linked gives a how-to for games cross-platform from Xbox to Switch, but the principle should be the same on PS4 to Xbox or PS4 to Switch... as far as the menus of the game are concerned.

There's also a video I found that should also help.

Ok cool, will do cheers. No I don’t mean cross platform game saves etc. I’m referring to option files for games. E.g. PES 2019 option file- which is possible on PS4 and PC.
