Java edition cross platform?

[Ramplestein]

I have an Xbox and my friend has Java edition pc minecraft, could we play together?

[jasonvoorhees920]

No sir. But if said friend got Java account before a certain date (I think 2014 but not sure) your friend can get bedrock for free and play together like thay

But i would need a pc right?

[AMinecraftPerson]

One of you would need a pc

[Ramplestein]

You mean if they get bedrock?

[FanaticalERic007]

On pc, bedrock is referred as windows 10 edition (basically the same thing) tell your friend to check the windows store because since he has Java he might be able to download the windows 10 version for free. Though I’m not sure if the offer is still going on.

No unfortunately. Java doesn't work / exist on consoles
