The Minecraft Bedrock Edition supports crossplay on Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and more. Bedrock players also have access to Realms, a multiplayer server run by Minecraft.

Furthermore, thanks to strides made by the community and cross-platform infrastructure created by developers, servers can be found on Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, or even both.
