Windows 10: Minecraft - playing a game with my kid

I have two copies of this game. I have two Windows 10 PCs. How do I play co-op with my son?


Edit: when I try to play, it says I'm logged in at another location. Is there any way of associating one of these licenses with my wife's account or something?

Minecraft

Hi Reinis,

There are several editions of Minecraft. Each edition works best on the platform it was intended to.
Minecraft: Java and Minecraft: Windows 10 editions were created for Windows 10 devices. There's a different version available for an Xbox One platform. To answer your question, since the version you have is for Windows 10,
you'll need to purchase the game's Xbox One version. You may purchase Minecraft: Xbox One version on this

link.

Our Xbox developers are collating suggestions for the improvement of your Xbox gaming experience. Recently, we've created the
Xbox Play Anywhere feature. This allows Windows 10 games to be played on Xbox One and vice versa. Based on the list, Minecraft is not yet an
XPA game. You may refer to this
link for additional details regarding the XPA games. Since Minecraft is not yet an
XPA game, we recommend submitting a post to the
Xbox UserVoice page and request this game to be included as an Xbox Play Anywhere.

We hope we're able to answer your query.

If there's anything else you want to clarify, don't hesitate to get back to us. We'd be glad to further assist you.
