Minecraft cross-platform question

[tombrr]

Hi all,

Is it possible to play in the same server with people using a range of devices?

My son has a Xbox One and his brother has a Switch, and their friends have it on iPad, is it possible for them all to join the same server? Do I need to get realms?

I've tried googling but cant seem to find an answer.


Thanks

Thanks for the replies @Witcher1980 and @bazzabear but nothing seems to work.

When I start a new world from the Switch and try to join on the Xbox one via the friends list and the option 'join game' it just times out all the time.

If i start a game from the Xbox One and then go to the Switch to try and join the friend, it says there are 'no joinable games'.

What am I missing here?

So we have managed to get it working, albeit only now and again to much frustration. Doesn't seem very reliable at all which was a shame as it was 1 of the 'selling points' of getting this so my youngest could play with his older brother more without having to get his own xbox of which I'm sure would be far more reliable.
