This upcoming November 17, "Minecraft Dungeons" gamers are said to be getting a cross-platform play across every single one of the game's various versions. The announcement was made by the official Twitter account for the celebrated "Minecraft Dungeons" saying it will come as quite a welcome news for all of the fans of Minecraft's dungeon-crawling spin-off.

'Minecraft Dungeons' will support cross-platform play

The timing of this game certainly helps as the cross-platform play is said to arrive in "Minecraft Dungeons" just a number of weeks before the game's very own Howling Peaks DLC packs are said to release some time early December. As of the moment, players will be given the game's very own third DLC pack along with a greater pool of friends. This allows players to play no matter which platform they have originally purchased the game on.

According to the story reported by Comicbook, while some of the platforms were still quite hesitant to embrace the known cross-play some time earlier within the current console generations, it was stated that over the past couple of years, it has finally become something of a standard for the entire video game industry.

Benefits of cross-platform play for everyone

The reality is that both publishers and developers will benefit even more from allowing its players to enjoy the said games no matter what platform they are using. It can also have quite a major impact straight on the game's own potential multiplayer audience, which has proven to be able to give games a longer and stronger following.

The success of the said cross-platform play has also been able to give both publishers and developers incentives in order to pursue other particular advances just like cross-saving. While the said cross-saves have still not quite caught on at the same tempo, it is still pretty clear that both the publishers and developers are already looking towards finding more ways to be able to unify the gaming experience in order to make things more pleasant for all of the players in general.

'Minecraft Dungeons' for friends to enjoy

For those that are still unfamiliar with "Minecraft Dungeons", the title itself is said to be a dungeon-crawler that includes the classic hack-and-slash gameplay which is meant to evoke certain titles just like "Diablo". The game is said to currently support four-player couch as well as online co-op, the later is said to be able to support the awaited cross-platform play.

With the game's very own procedurally-generated dungeons, certain players all across the different game's platforms will be given a lot of reasons to keep exploring the adventurous dungeons together.

The highly-celebrated "Minecraft Dungeons" is now available for the Xbox One, the PlayStation4, the PC, and also the Nintendo Switch. This should allow gamers to enjoy the game even if they have no plans to get the new PlayStation 5 or the new Xbox Series X.
