But wait, didn't Minecraft come to the Nintendo Switch last year? It did. You're not going crazy. Minecraft: Nintendo Switch edition gave the hybrid console a solid, core Minecraft experience in 2017, but it wasn't compatible with other versions of Minecraft. If you were playing on Nintendo Switch, you could only play online with other Switch owners. Now, Switch owners can play with almost everyone: the new version of the game runs on the same Bedrock Engine that Mojang uses for the Xbox One, Windows and mobile versions of the game - and Switch owners can now play online with all of them.

But not with PlayStation 4 owners. You may have noticed this is a trend - Sony has made a habit of isolating its players from the rest of the console gaming community. The creators of Rocket League have said they're ready to enable cross-play with PS4 the moment Sony gives them the green light. The light is still red. Fortnite came to Nintendo Switch earlier this month - and Sony locked out any account that had played on PS4 from even logging in on the portable console.
