Cross-Platform Sharing Is Caring
The console war is anything but, where Microsoft and Nintendo are concerned. A new trailer for Minecraft advertises the game for both Nintendo Switch and the Xbox One, simultaneously. We could be witnessing history in the making.
Minecraft’s new trailer features two different players from two different homes experiencing the game on two different platforms. It’s a promotion of cross-platform activity, with neither platform missing out on the spotlight. From start to finish, we see the trailer broadcast the game’s functionality on each console. And though Microsoft owns the rights to Minecraft, they apparently have no problem mixing in some red color with their green branding. But maybe they wouldn’t go so far as to advertise things like Joy-Con functionality. You never know, however. Now, if they could only manage to fit some blue in the next trailer.
You can catch the cross-platform spot below.
If Nintendo and Microsoft are willing to share a screen, one has to contemplate whether Sony will ever bite the bullet and do the same. Of course, we’re talking about the company that blurred an Xbox One controller in a Destiny 2 trailer, so we’re not holding our breath. The point is, you no longer need two Switches to play Minecraft with a friend if you already own an Xbox One and vice versa. Go play with your friends if you own either console.
