After a brief delay,Minecraft Dungeon’srelease datehas finally arrived, and players are now digging into this new dungeon crawler from Mojang Studios and Double Eleven. While some fans will prefer to exploreMinecraft Dungeonsalone, others will want to bring along some friends, and indeed the title supports co-op for up to four players. For those fans that are having a bit of trouble getting this multiplayer setup, this guide is here to assist.
Before describing how to playMinecraft Dungeonswith friends it is important to note that the game does not allow for cross-platform play at launch.

Minecraft Dungeons: How to Play Online Multiplayer
The first step to playing online multiplayer inMinecraft Dungeonsis to complete the game’s tutorial, and reaching the first camp with Mission Select indicates that this has been done. From there, players can either join a friend’s online session or create their own, and both options can be initiated from character select or during standardgameplay.
On the character select screen this is done by selecting “Online Game,” and then either choosing “Start Online Game” and inviting a friend or joining an active session under “Game Sessions.” The process is very similar during standard play, and fans simply need to pull up the menu to see the “Start Online Game” and “Game Sessions” options.
One final thing to say about playingMinecraft Dungeonswith friends online is that some players report encountering errors when attempting to join a session. While this is likely to be an issue with the game servers, fans that come across these errors should verify that all players have completed this newdungeon crawler’s tutorial.
