Minecraft Dungeons can be played alone but seriously benefits from co-op fun.

There's plenty of other news coming out of Minecraft Live, regardless of whether you enjoy Minecraft, such as the upcoming Caves and Cliffs update set to release in Summer 2021 or the Howling Peaks DLC for Minecraft Dungeons.
