Minecraft on Switch

Microsoft brought Minecraft to Nintendo’s hit console in May 2017. The release brought the Nintendo exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up pack to the Switch, which was originally available on the Wii U. While available on Switch, Minecraft comes with smaller worlds due to the console’s hardware limitations. The game comes with a building area of 3072×3072 blocks. By comparison, the building area on Xbox One and PS4 is 5120×5120 blocks. These days, Minecraft is a cross-platform game. Users can play across Xbox, PC, mobile, and Nintendo’s Switch. This means experiences are shared across the platforms, with the only notable omission being Sony’s PS4.
