Microsoft has announced an expansion of its Minecraft Realms platform, in an attempt to unite Minecraft players across platforms.
As a part of the program, Minecraft players across Windows 10, iOS, Android and Gear VR will be able to connect over multiplayer for the first time. Tagged as 'The Friendly Update', the expansion will provide dedicated servers for multiplayer sessions, acting as a unified solution for mobile cross-platform multiplayer.
This title joins the existing support for PC and Mac, but multiplayer support will still be divided between these platforms. No mention of consoles was made during the event.
