Minecraft CEO confirms Xbox Live login on Switch, really wants Sony cross-play.

Mojang CEO Jonas Märtensson says the account system will have you logging in to Xbox Live on Switch. Might be part of why Sony is reluctant?

Here’s a quick and dirty translation of some of the interview:

We’re tying everything together with Xbox Live. So you log in with Xbox Live …

Even on Switch?

Yes. (Laughs) That’s pretty unique as well! But everyone that’s in on this, all the platform holders, have been pretty pragmatic and understanding of that what we’re trying to do is create a good experience for the players. We needed a good system to connect everyone, and Xbox Live is a good system.

On lack of Sony support:

How did the cooperation between Xbox and Switch enter the picture? Has it been difficult, politically speaking?

No. We have always wanted to, from a Minecraft perspective, try and give the players as many options as possible, on any platform. Nintendo has been very open when it comes to working together, so I’d say it’s been very smooth.

What about Sony? There’s one party that’s missing in the cross play here.

Yeah, but we would really like this to come out there as well.

But it’s stopping at the top?

Absolutely not on our side.

On the other side, I mean.

You’d have to ask them (laughs).

Actually, we will. We have an interview with Jim Ryan later on…

Do it! We would really like to have Sony in on this.
