Crossplay between almost all versions of Minecraft has been a thing for a while now, but the PlayStation 4 has been tragically left out of the party. Well, the PS4 version of Minecraft finally gets crossplay tomorrow, but there’s a somewhat odd caveat – crossplay on the PS4 will require a Microsoft or Xbox Live account. You can check out a quick trailer hyping up PS4 crossplay, below.

Starting tomorrow, PS4 owners will be able to download the unified Minecraft Bedrock version, which includes crossplay. This is a treated as a separate game from the original Minecraft PlayStation 4 Edition, which you can still play if you’ve already downloaded it, but will no longer be sold. The new PS4 version of Minecraft won’t require you to pay for Xbox Live Gold, the basic free version will do, and will include regular Trophies rather than Achievements.
