Minecraft: why play it on PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo Switch
What makes this game worth discovering?
Minecraft gives you a world to build, explore and reshape. Creative play removes many survival pressures, while Survival adds gathering and preparation. Choose the correct console edition, because features and compatibility differ across releases.
Choose the right console and edition
Choose a console listed below and obtain the matching game edition separately. Availability of online features, downloads and multiplayer services can change, especially on older systems. Check the publisher’s requirements if those features are essential to you. This guide does not imply that the game is included with a console.
Before you buy
- Match the game edition and region to your console. Remakes and releases for other systems are separate products.
- Check the console listing for its condition, storage and included accessories. A pictured game is not a promise that a cartridge, disc or download is supplied.
Explore compatible consoles
The console panel shows current pricing and availability. Open the product details before adding it to your cart if you need to check the exact bundle.
