Original commodity:

One big development throughout this generation has been the gradual encroachment of cantankerous-play between competing gaming networks. Major titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and others at present have some grade of cross-play between PlayStation and Xbox One, with other titles like Gears 5 picking up cross-play between Xbox and PC. Ane very loftier-profile hold out was Minecraft's Bedrock Edition, which is arguably the most cross-playable title of them all, connecting players from Nintendo Switch, VR, mobile, Xbox Ane, and PC via Xbox Live. Unfortunately, it looked as though Sony was holding out on bringing Xbox Live to PlayStation in social club to enable cantankerous-play for Minecraft to PS4 users, until now.

Appearing in various stores online (thanks, Rand_Al_Thor_19), gamers are spotting a new retail SKU of Minecraft for PlayStation 4, complete with the updated Xbox Game Studios logo and descriptions on the reverse relating to Microsoft Account requirements for crossplay. The following picture comes via ibxtoycat on Twitter for a new Minecraft Starter Edition for PS4, expected to launch into retailers next week just in fourth dimension for the holidays, and the Buzzy Bees update.

Some other user eckoxsoldier noticed that Best Buy had listed the Minecraft Bedrock Edition for PlayStation iv as "coming soon" on December 10, although the page was swiftly taken downward by the retailer.

We've reached out to Microsoft to comment on the info, but nosotros've been hearing for a while that Bedrock was making its mode across to Team Blue at some betoken. Always wait for official confirmation, but we're pretty confident this is the real deal.
