🌐 What Is Minecraft Dungeons 2 Crossplay?
Crossplay allows players on supported platforms to play together online.
Before joining friends, players should make sure their game accounts are correctly linked and that their network settings allow multiplayer connections.
🔗 Linking Your Console Account
The basic setup is:
- Launch Minecraft Dungeons 2.
- Sign in to the required game account.
- Connect your console account.
- Confirm that your online multiplayer permissions are enabled.
- Restart the game if the account connection does not appear immediately.
Both players should complete the account setup before attempting to create or join a lobby.
🛜 Fixing NAT Type Restrictions
A restrictive NAT type can prevent players from joining multiplayer sessions or connecting directly with friends.
If you are having connection problems:
- Restart your router.
- Restart the console.
- Check your console's network settings.
- Make sure multiplayer access is enabled.
- Avoid using multiple network connections simultaneously.
- Check whether your NAT type is listed as restrictive.
If the NAT remains restricted, the issue may be related to your router or network provider rather than the game itself.
🏠 Creating a Multiplayer Lobby
The host can create a lobby from the game's multiplayer menu.
Multiplayer → Create Lobby → Invite Friends → Start Game
Before launching, check that:
- Everyone is online.
- Accounts are linked.
- Crossplay is enabled.
- Friends have accepted their invitations.
- The lobby has available slots.
👥 Joining a Lobby
To join a friend's session:
Friends → Select Player → Join Game
If the option does not appear, check the host's privacy settings, lobby availability and NAT status.
