Yes—Minecraft Dungeons II supports online cross-play, so friends can play together across the platforms listed in the game’s official FAQ. You can also combine couch co-op players on one device with friends joining online. The group limit is four players.

Which platforms can play together?

The official Minecraft Dungeons II FAQ lists Windows, Steam, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 as supported platforms, and confirms cross-play. Platform availability can change, so check the current FAQ if you are planning a group around a particular system.

Cross-play means players on supported platforms can join the same online co-op group. The official FAQ and launch announcement describe co-op for up to four players, whether playing online or locally.

How co-op works

Online co-op

Invite or join friends online using the game’s current in-menu friend or invitation options. The official sources confirm cross-play and matchmaking, but do not document a complete sequence of menus or buttons. Use the options shown in your copy of the game rather than relying on unverified instructions for friend codes or account linking.

Couch co-op

Players can play together locally on one console or PC. The official FAQ does not specify the exact local setup steps or supported input devices, so follow the prompts displayed in the game.

Mixed co-op

Mixed co-op combines local players on one console or PC with additional players joining online. For example, two people on one device can play alongside friends connecting from other supported platforms, as long as the total group stays within the four-player limit.

Check online subscription requirements

Minecraft’s official notice says online co-op on consoles requires a subscription for that platform. Xbox’s store page specifies Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate for Xbox console online multiplayer. The sources cited here do not establish the current subscription requirements for PlayStation or Nintendo, so check the relevant platform’s current rules before your session.
