This June, the Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition will welcome the Minecraft Bedrock Engine onto the platform, and you'l be able to play with others even if they're not playing on Switch as well.

Continuing that "Minecraft everywhere" spirit, the Nintendo Switch Edition of Minecraft will finally get its "Better Together" cross-play feature in the Bedrock update schedule for next month.

At E3 2017, Microsoft announced a partnership to bring Minecraft Realms to the Nintendo Switch. But that's not all.

"Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition" is a great reminder of what makes both "Minecraft" and the Nintendo Switch console so cool.
