If your Minecraft Dungeons 2 party is split between different systems, cross-platform support matters before everybody starts deciding which version to buy. Mojang has expanded the sequel’s multiplayer options beyond simply choosing between playing locally or joining friends online.
Is Minecraft Dungeons 2 Cross-Platform?
Yes, Minecraft Dungeons 2 supports cross platform play. Mojang says online multiplayer supports cross-play, with parties of up to four players.
The sequel also supports couch co-op, mixed co-op, matchmaking and party codes, giving you several ways to assemble a group.
That should leave coordinating four actual human schedules as the more dangerous multiplayer mechanic.
Which Platforms Support Minecraft Dungeons 2?
Minecraft Dungeons II is available on:
- Windows PC
- Steam
- Xbox Series X|S
- PlayStation 5
- Nintendo Switch
- Nintendo Switch 2
Mojang’s official FAQ lists Steam, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Switch and Switch 2, while the main Dungeons II page also lists Windows availability.
Mojang describes the game’s online co-op system as cross-play, rather than limiting online multiplayer to one console family.
Does Minecraft Dungeons 2 Have Couch Co-Op?
Yes. Local couch co-op returns in Minecraft Dungeons 2, and it can also be combined with online play through the new mixed co-op system.
Mixed co-op allows two or more people playing locally on the same console or PC to join additional players online.
For example, two people can play from the same system while a friend on another supported platform joins the party online.
Console players should remember that online multiplayer can still require the applicable platform subscription. Mojang notes that online console multiplayer and co-op require the platform’s normal online service.
Does it Support Matchmaking and Party Codes?
Yes. Minecraft Dungeons II introduces matchmaking, allowing players to find other heroes looking for a party rather than requiring a complete friend group beforehand.
It also adds party codes, providing another way to connect directly to another game.
That gives you several multiplayer combinations:
- Play solo.
- Play entirely through couch co-op.
- Join friends online.
- Mix local and online players.
- Find players through matchmaking.
- Connect using a party code.
The four-player limit still applies, regardless of how everybody gets there.
What About Cross-Progression?
Cross-play and cross-progression aren’t automatically the same feature.
Mojang’s current multiplayer breakdown explicitly confirms cross-play, but it doesn’t provide the same confirmation that one hero save automatically transfers between every supported platform.
For playing with friends on other systems, though, the important answer is clear: Minecraft Dungeons 2 supports cross-platform multiplayer.
