Where can you play Minecraft Dungeons?
Minecraft Dungeons is still platform agnostic
There was some understandable concern that Minecraft Dungeons would leave behind the platform-agnostic strategy of vanilla Minecraft as the first game from Mojang Studios under Microsoft's leadership. These concerns were ultimately unfounded; however, as Minecraft Dungeons is available on every modern gaming platform, you could ask for, including a handful of surprises.
Minecraft Dungeons is available right now for the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One family, PS5, PS4 family, Switch, and PC. Minecraft Dungeons provides the same experience across the board, and all updates and expansions typically drop at the same time for every platform.
If you're playing on a console, there's nothing you need to do beyond simply buying the game. Unfortunately, next-gen consoles like the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 don't have any optimizations for Minecraft Dungeons at the time, but that could always arrive at some point in the future. When playing on PC, make sure your gaming rig meets all the minimum and recommended specs for Minecraft Dungeons for the best possible experience.
Experience Minecraft Dungeons on your phone
From a pure gameplay perspective, Minecraft Dungeons is a perfect fit for mobile devices and touch controls. However, modern mobile hardware simply isn't powerful enough to provide a reliable Minecraft Dungeons experience, and it wasn't going to happen - until it did.
Minecraft Dungeons is fully playable on Android mobile devices (and iOS devices in the future) through the power of Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Those already subscribed to Microsoft's gaming subscription service, which provides incredible value on Xbox and Windows, can stream dozens upon dozens of high-quality Xbox games to their phone using the power of the cloud and some of the Best Accessories for Xbox Cloud Gaming.
With Minecraft Dungeons (and a growing list of other great games), you don't even need a controller! Minecraft Dungeons supports fully integrated touch controls, and Minecraft Dungeons' touch controls are surprisingly great. Because of this, Minecraft Dungeons tops our list of Best Games on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Find the best way to play Minecraft Dungeons
Minecraft Dungeons is available pretty much everywhere you could ask for, so all that's left is to find the best way for you to play it. Minecraft Dungeons also has full cross-play support, so you don't have to worry about where your friends are playing - you can still play together!
Now, Minecraft Dungeons has a few versions and ways to play. You can buy the base game for your platform of choice, which includes a good amount of content and all the wonderful additions from the free updates Minecraft Dungeons has received. Minecraft Dungeons is surprisingly affordable at this level compared to other games on the market, capturing part of what makes Minecraft so accessible to players.
However, it's worth spending the extra ~$10 to pick up the Hero Edition of Minecraft Dungeons, which includes the base game, all free updates, the first two major expansions (Jungle Awakens and Creeping Winter), and some free cosmetic items for players. This is a great way to get into Minecraft Dungeons and have a little extra content on top of the base game to explore.
The real base version of Minecraft Dungeons.
Minecraft Dungeons has a base version, but the edition most players should be considering when purchasing Minecraft Dungeons is the Hero Edition. Minecraft Dungeons: Hero Edition includes a ton of content at a still-great price, and is only getting better with time as updates are released. Players can decide if they want to take it farther with more expansions.
Once you're hooked on Minecraft Dungeons, then you can decide if you want the Minecraft Dungeons Season Pass, which includes the Howling Peaks expansion, the upcoming (and massive) Flames of the Nether DLC, and two more expansions beyond that.
Finally, the base game of Minecraft Dungeons is included in Xbox Game Pass on both consoles and PC, so subscribers can try out Mojang Studios' newest project without committing to buying the full game (and get a discount on the game and its DLC if you like it!). Upgrading to Ultimate will net you a ton of other perks on Xbox and Windows, as well as let you stream Minecraft Dungeons to your phone with Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Get the most out of Minecraft Dungeons and multiplayer gaming in general with one of the Best Headsets for Xbox Series X|S, which will make sure you never miss a beat or fail to communicate with your friends.
All your gaming needs, in one subscription.
Is the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate the best value in all of gaming? It's possible. Ultimate bundles your Xbox Live Gold subscription, an Xbox Game Pass subscription for both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, and Xbox Cloud Gaming for on-the-go. That means access to Minecraft Dungeons on Xbox, Windows, and even your phone, with discounts on all its expansions and DLC.
