Compatibility is ensured across all Chromebooks launched in the last three years. For optimal gaming, users can refer to the recommended device specifications on the Minecraft website.
One of the exciting features of Minecraft on Chromebooks is the cross-play functionality. This allows gamers to join friends and millions of players across multiple platforms such as Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Windows computers. With a Microsoft account, players can engage in Creative mode with unlimited blocks or band together in Survival mode to craft tools against threats.
Chromebook users will also get to experience the newly announced Trails & Tales update for Minecraft. This upgrade introduces new mobs, blocks, and items, enabling players to transform their Overworld. Notable features include the opportunity to meet a sniffer, hunt for armour trims, or search for pottery shards. The update also allows players to share camel rides and exchange messages through editable hanging signs.
Google has made a special provision for Android users to enjoy Minecraft on both their phones and Chromebooks’ larger screens. Buying the game on Chromebook allows users to download it on their Android device at no additional cost with the same Google account. Similarly, current Minecraft for Android owners can get the Chromebook version at a discounted price, provided they are logged into the same Google account.
