Minecraft to Receive Cross-Platform Play on the Switch This June

Nintendo has just announced a surprising new feature for the physical retail version of Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition. When the game hits store shelves, it will bring with it a rarely-seen but often-demanded multiplayer feature: cross-platform play. Those who purchase the $29.99 game (which includes all the previously released DLC in addition to the Switch exclusive Super Mario Masu-Up Pack), or own the digital version already, will be able to sync up with users on other consoles like Xbox One or Android (a full list of compatible platforms, however, was not provided).
