News:: The big 'Minecraft' cross-platform update is live, but not on Switch

The Better Together update brings the biggest set of changes to hit Minecraft in years, expanding the Community Marketplace, streamlining access to third-party servers and uniting the game across platforms -- and it's all live today. Well, most of it is.

Better Together is rolling out across Xbox One, Windows 10, virtual reality and mobile versions of Minecraft right now, but it won't hit the Switch until later this year. Microsoft's original plan, which it unveiled at E3 in June, was to launch Better Together on Switch at the same time as the other platforms (hence the title of the update).

PlayStation 4 was never part of the equation for this initial roll-out.

"We just flat-out couldn't get those two completely in sync," Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Matt Booty says.
