This is official. Servers and realms are coming to PlayStation, so you know what that means. I must let go of my pride and make some friends. I know that my sparkling character and even the sparkling of my pores will make you believe that I am surrounded by friends and fans all day long. Dear reader, this is not the case. I am a lonely wolf. A solo artist. A writer. However, now that I can explore the Wild West as a community server and participate in realms exclusive parties, I will have to make myself a social life.
Servers and realms opened up different ways to play with friends. When playing games on the server, you can explore the world operated by the community. This gives you access to unique content created by fellow Minecrafters, and you can also play with them! The server is full of competitive game modes, versions, and mini games. They are so creative that only our incredible community can dream of them. Make new friends who like your Minecraft but remember that chats have filters and any inappropriate behaviour can be reported in the game, so please stay friendly. Whether it is a digital world or a non-digital world, we all need to do our part to ensure the safety of our world.
Realm also allows you to play with other people, but in this case, you will send out a personalized invitation. No matter where you are in the real world, you can play with your friends. Turn it into your personal playground, regardless of boundaries, time zones and laws of physics. If you subscribe to Realms Plus, you can play with 9 friends and have access to more than 100 kinds of content. You can also play in regular games, which can create a private world for you and your friends. It doesn’t matter what console or platform your friends are playing; you can still hang out in the same place. Remember, whether you are online or not, your domain is always available. This means that even if you are not logged in, the person you invite will always be able to play on it.
Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you party with your friends? All you have to do is to find the “Server” tab on the Minecraft main menu or subscribe to Realms, and then send out the invitation! Remember, to access any online multiplayer game feature, you need a Playstation Plus subscription.
For those who have already played Minecraft on PS4, these new features have been provided in the latest update. If you need more information, please check the Realms Plus FAQ, Server FAQ and PS4 FAQ. Now, if you can forgive me, I can find the FAQ, which explains how I made some “friends and numbers”. I hope what I need is a cleverer word game, without any explanation at all.
