Minecraft Dungeons finally adds cloud-enabled cross-saves across platforms

We are nearing the one-year anniversary of Minecraft Dungeons, the action-RPG spin-off of Minecraft. During this time, Minecraft Dungeons has received multiple updates and DLC, culminating in the recently released (and massive) Flames of the Nether DLC, to add new features and greatly improve the game over time. One thing that has been sorely missing since launch, however, is cross-save support. After nearly 12 months of waiting (almost 6 months after Minecraft Dungeons officially added cross-play support and promised cross-save, we’re finally getting it.

Today, Mojang Studios and Double Eleven are finally rolling out the update that officially enables cloud-powered cross-saves in Minecraft Dungeons at some point today. Powered by the same Microsoft Account you use to take advantage of cross-play to join your friends, cross-saves let you carry your characters and all of their progression across every platform Minecraft Dungeons is available. Yes, this includes Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, PS5, PS4, PC, and Switch. This does not include purchases, however, like the Minecraft Dungeons Season Pass.

Minecraft Dungeons players have been waiting for cross-save support to arrive for a long time now, and at times the omission has been frustrating. We discussed this and more in our overview of Mojang Studios and how it sometimes feels like an underfunded indie studio.

Now with cross-save support, Minecraft Dungeons fully feels like the game it could’ve been at launch. With all of the post-launch support the game has received, it’s absolutely one of the best games on Xbox and one of the best games on Xbox Game Pass. If you hadn’t checked out Mojang Studios’ experimental expansion of the Minecraft franchise yet, it’s certainly worth your time. Now with cross-save, you can worry even less about losing any of your progression if you play on more than one platform.
